Hello,
I am trying to find some new ideas for shelter charity drives for the company I work for. We are spread out with 15 offices in 6 states and I need something that I can easily coordinate for all of our offices. We had a successful clothing drive in May and plan a canned food drive for November. Any ideas on how to raise money in the workplace?

I work with Big Brothers Big Sisters and our biggest drives have been the school supply drive and a holiday gift drive. I can send you a list of "typically" asked for toys and gifts if you would like. Another thing we are doing this year is a book drive, sponsored by a chain in the area, but you could pull that off with an office and donate the books. Another idea that might be helpful is a school uniform drive, with all the schools that have uniforms that could be helpful. Hope this helps! Feel free to e-mail me if you want that list (smann@bbbsnt.org). Shannon
