September 6, 2024

Are you looking to make a difference in your community from the comfort of your home or workplace? Hosting an online donation drive with Catholic Charities is a simple, effective way to support those in need. Whether you’re an individual, school, business, or other organization, we’ve got you covered with options that cater to your preferences and capabilities. 

Benefits of Hosting a Traditional Drive

Hosting a traditional donation drive is a fantastic way to engage your community in philanthropic efforts. It's an excellent opportunity for schools, businesses, or organizations to come together and support a worthy cause. Catholic Charities staff can assist by providing you with a list of needed items or a custom-made flyer with the dates and drop-off locations for your drive. Contact us to get started on organizing your traditional donation drive. 

Benefits of Hosting a Virtual Drive

A virtual donation drive offers a convenient way to make a difference from anywhere. Save time and fuel by ordering needed items online and having them shipped directly to Catholic Charities. With an Amazon Wish List, you can easily share the exact items needed with your followers or friends online or through email. This ensures transparency and efficiency in your non profit donation request and helps streamline the process of collecting donations.

How to Start a Donation Drive

Starting a donation drive with Catholic Charities is straightforward and rewarding. Here’s how you can make an impact in three easy steps:

Choose a Focus and Timeline for Your Drive

Decide on the type of items you wish to collect, such as food, clothing, toiletries, or baby items. Set a timeline that works best for you and your group.

Share Your Custom Amazon Wish List or Flyer

Catholic Charities will help you create an individualized Amazon Wish List or a custom flyer tailored to your group's needs. Share this with your group via social media, email, or any other preferred communication method.

Collect and Deliver the Items

Once your drive is underway, you can either collect the items and deliver them to Catholic Charities or allow them to be shipped directly to us via the Amazon Wish List.
