I am out of ideas, at least that have not been mentioned. But I would love to hear what people are leaning towards, with ideas already mentioned.

I love the idea. We have $2000 worth of things we plan on donating in the next couple weeks.

I really liked this one, it was something I could get the kids behind.

I'd have to do some research for donating canned food of mine, but the clothing is easy. Take pictures of the clothes you're donating, take some pictures of you dropping it into the box, and share it with us and smile knowing you helped

It's actually for tax purposes, but it is still nice to know.

So, Miss Taco, how has all your progress been lately? I remember reading your forum post last week, will we be getting another one?

I found the website I was talking about: It's deductible

You need to register to use it, but it's free to do so and to use the program.

I used the donation-worth calculator for taxes this year. It seems we get rid of an entire closet of clothes each year through donation.

I will definitely have to go thru and keep track this year and see about next years taxes.

It certainly helps people get in the donation mood. It's a bit unfortunate, but most of us (myself included) find it easier to donate when there is some benefit to them as well.

So, does anybody have anything else they want to bring up before the meeting is officially over?

If you think of something later on, please add it here, I will be checking back here to see if anybody's added anything.

In case you didnt see my message, we are at approx $275 so far. And everyone here has agreed to put on their thinking caps and to also promote where they can to help raise the money and awareness.

There are good days and bad days, and while the bad days suck, there will always be more good days. Everything is a learning experience, and I wish you the best with them
