How many times at Halloween, for example, did I not hear, “But what are we going to do with all this candy”?
Do you know that associations are happy to collect candy to organize parties for children or families? This is a great opportunity not to spoil all these good things!
And of course, the possible donations do not stop with Halloween treats: selecting, moving or other, we all have the opportunity to find an association to which we could make donations.
Here are some links; of course, it’s a selection and there are others. Feel free to send us the names of those we should have listed!
Goodwill
Stores resell private donations. Furniture, clothes, books, costumes, leather goods… The association also helps people overcome obstacles to develop their skills and find a job.
Birthday wishes
Organization of birthday parties for homeless children. The association collects candy and looks for volunteers to make cakes and oversee the birthday parties.
