- Put boxes in your school to collect used ink cartridges then trade them in for cash to buy something your school needs.
- Work with your local dollar store to set up bins to collect personal care items that shoppers can purchase for local people in need.
- Set up a sock drive for the homeless. Socks are the number one requested item.
- Collect gently used and new children’s books for the library.
- Do a playground drive. Ask for hula hoops, jump ropes, balls and other items to keep kids active at recess.
