Nonprofit organizations such as school groups, scout troops or churches can raise funds by hosting a clothing and household items fundraiser drive. Businesses and individuals can also host drives to donate clothes and toys in Kansas City, Joplin, or Springfield; hosting a drive is a great way to team-build and give back to the community.

Here are some details about having an event!

Payments to the individual organizations are calculated based on the volume (in pounds) that are collected.

Donated household items (non-clothing) are measured separately and treated as add on value. Large furniture, mattresses, appliances and dangerous products are excluded.

Here are some best practices to ensure that your event is the biggest and best!

  1. Set a minimum number of bags as the standard/expectation to be collected by each participant (10 bags)
  2. Incentivize participants and volunteers by awarding the winner with a meaningful prize (highest number of bags collected above the minimum standard)
  3. Have an adult leader clearly communicate that participation is required by all members in order to be a member of the organization (team)
