Is there any place that I can donate backpacks in San Diego?

nope


I did a backpack drive for my birthday and I would like a place to donate these backpacks. If the area is in North County that would be ideal. Each backpack contains a notebook, pack of pencils and pens, and an eraser. There are about twenty of them.
Thank you!



Answer
I would suggest North County Community Services in San Marcos. NCCS. This organization manages several early child development centers throughout North County and North County's Food Bank.

Both programs could benefit from your generous donation.

how can I raise money for a huge project for foster children?

I'm planning on a huge project for foster children where I'm making backpacks for all the foster children in the community that includes a journal, pen, pair of clothes, and health supplies. (all of which put into a backpack to carry around for when they go from foster home to foster home.) I need a way to make money for the backpacks. Also, I need a list of big sponsors that could donate some things for the kids. :] first one to answer gets the points!!! :]


Answer
Do you have permission from the foster care agency to do this project? Will all donations go directly to that agency, rather than through you? Do you have a web site that shows the foster care agency has approved your project and is ready to accept financial donations on their behalf? Unless you have all this, you won't get any sponsors for your project, as sponsors donate to nonprofit organizations and community programs at government agencies, not to individuals.

Once you have all of the above, target sponsors locally, from your own city and county (largest employers, largest manufacturers, etc.). All solicitation letters should be approved and sent through the foster care agency.
