Drives for Good
Organizing a drive for food, clothing, or other goods is an easy way to volunteer your time at home or work. A number of groups donate gifts for children during holiday drives, but we welcome donations all year round.
Here are a few examples of drives you can organize to support LSA families:
- Organize a clothing drive in your building or at your office – LSA can come pick up your donations! Think seasonally: right now we’re in need of fall & winter clothing, coats, blankets, Halloween costumes. (Please only donate items that are clean and in good condition!) Schedule a donation pickup
- Organize a food drive at your work, school or church to support our pantry. Again, LSA will pick up the donation when it’s ready. We especially need food during the holidays, as we see more families during the holiday season.
- Coordinate an online drive. Here’s a really easy way to organize a drive to support LSA – an online drive through YouGiveGoods. YouGiveGoods will set everything up so that all your group members have to do is go to the drive page and pick the items they want to donate. Items will shipped directly to LSA. See a sample YouGiveGoods drive for school supplies. In the photo above – students eat snacks donated through a YouGiveGoods drive!
- Create a crowdfunding page to fundraise for LSA. Invite friends, colleagues, and family to donate to LSA through a personalized page on Crowdrise. This is great if you are in a race, such as a 5K. You could also dedicate your birthday by asking friends to donate make a donation instead of buying gifts. On your personalized page you can share photos and say why you believe in LSA. All donations are tax-deductible, and you can be confident that all the donations made will be directed to the programs that need them most. Get started crowdfunding for LSA. If you need help setting up your page or coming up with ideas, just give us a call (646) 672-5290, or email development@lsafhs.org – we’ll be happy to help!
