Here’s the general breakdown of how to organize local charity events like Food drives, Toy Drives, etc. with very little money necessary:📝
1. Find a safe location with ample parking. Usually, owners of a warehouse, nightclub, office building, car dealership, are all happy to support. 🏢
2. Make 1 main flyer that’s easy to read and clearly explains the location/date/time and what items you want the community to donate/drop off.📰
3. Ask everyone to post on social media the flyer.📲Call local business owners, nightclub promoters, media outlets, real estate offices, and entrepreneurs to get their employees & friends to help.☎️
4. Get lots of volunteers to help the day run smoothly, but be clear with them about what you want them to do, and have a clear schedule of how you want the event to run before/during & after.⏰
5. Choose approved charity organizations in advance that you’ll be donating the food/toys/supplies, and figure out a plan of how they’ll pick items up or receive delivery.📦📦📦📦
Moral of the Story: None of this costs you money. It just takes your time, energy, passion, and willingness to rally the community together to support good causes.🦾❤️ @trinaskids
