No Money? Make Charity Donations Without Cash!

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.

Here are some amazing facts from the EPA:

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.

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.
