Would You Like to Make Charity Donations, But Think You Can't Because You're On A Tight Budget?
Do you think - maybe next year, I'll be making more money and can afford to sponsor a child or adopt a pet or send some cash to a good cause?
Maybe I'll donate clothes, or donate furniture, or give money to the salvation army donations bucket.
But you never do - because you need the cash just to make ends meet.
Well, there are ways to make charity donations without money, without time, and without even leaving the comfort of your armchair - let me show you .
Use Coupons For Free Items - Donate Items to Charity!
You Can Make Free Charity Donations of Hair
If you have an extra 10 inches of healthy hair, you can donate hair to organizations to be made into wigs for people who have lost their own hair.People lose their hair due to cancer treatments, alopecia, burns and others. It doesn't cost a thing to grow your hair.
* If you don't have long flowing hair, an alternative way to raise charity donations is to shave your head for charity.

Today I Found A New (almost) Satellite Receiver In My Dumpster!
One Man's Trash Is Another Man's (or Woman's) Charity Donations
For instance, did you know that each person in the United States throws out 4.5 pounds of garbage every day? This amounts to:
* 1.5 tons for each of us every year
* 20,000 cars and 4,000 trucks and buses every day
* Forty-three thousand tons of food is thrown out every day
* Two and a half million plastic bottles every HOUR. * 270 million tires every year
34% of it is paper
13.1% of it is lawn trimmings
11.7% of it is food scraps
11.9% plastics
7.6% metals
7.3 rubber, leather, textiles
5.2% glass
5.7 wood
3.4 other stuff
Before you go tossing that item in the trash - think about it. Could someone us it? You know, someone could use those old tennis shoes of yours, and that broken window frame might be just the thing for a creative artist!
FREECYCLE.ORG is the place to list your unwanted (or wanted) items.
When you want to find a new home for something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door -- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of the local Freecycle group.
Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member's offer, and you just might get it. After that, it's up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure.
Their main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.

Nothing Feels Better Than Cuddling Up In A Soft Warm Quilt
Charity Donations of Materials and Quilts For Children
Wrap Them In Love Foundationor
Project Linus
A person makes a quilt. A person lovingly picks a pattern, prepares the pieces, sews the top, fills, binds and finishes a quilt.
A person can make a child. A person can lovingly nurture a child, prepare the pieces, clean up and wash the outside, fill them with love, and hold them close to us forever, and let them fly free.
If you can sew, these charity organizations can use the help. If you can't sew (that would be me)- you can donate materials, help them update their website, help raise funds....
Every child deserves to feel warm and safe and loved.

- If you think to help underprivileged, you can do charity in many ways. Shawna you have written very well about donating things for charity. I just want to add one more thing in your list: It's your old car. You can donate your old car to any selected charity and in return you have tax benefits too.

- These are good tips for individuals--and (at least in the USA) there are also ways for businesses to help a charity without directly donating money. If goods or services are donated the right way, the charity can actually get more than market value for them, while the business gets a tax deduction. I've explained it at my usa-business-helping-charity lens.

- Wonderful information, 5 stars! A good way to support your favorite charity is through cause marketing. Make personal purchases through non profits that partner with corporations. That way you will get what you need and help your charity at the same time. Perhaps you can donate more often this way.

Give and you will receive. I thank you for reminding me to complete my obligations to society in a very well written lens and a timely one for the conditions going on in this world.

These are just simply useful and awesome information & I never thought I could see one until I've stumbled upon this lens of yours! I specially like the thought of donating hair to people who are victims of the big C, alopecia and other hair loss problems! Thanks for the information! Do drop by this site that offers recycled personalized checks! I recently got my own personalized LSU checks and it helped me save money on checks. I'm sure you will also love the idea!

- If you can't or don't want to donate money, you can also volunteer your time,online, in your own home.
There are many online volunteering,or virtual volunteering sites. My favorite is the UN online volunteering site. This site lists many non profits and ngo's that need online volunteers to do things like make up project proposals, or do research, translations,etc. All which can be done anywhere with a computer and internet access. The link is (http://www.onlinevolunteering.org).
