My mission is to
setup a
community
drive to collect
clothes and
other goods for
donation to
charity.
MISSION
STARTING UP My strategy to get support for the project was to create a
flyer that was easy to read and straightforward.
I stated a date for goods pick up and my contact
information on the flyer.
Any party interested had to take the initiative to get ahold
of me.
People who wanted to donate would send me their
addresses to be added to my list for pick-up day.
I chose Sunday, November 18th as my collection day.
FLYERClothes and Goods Drive
What is it?
A donation drive has been organized to collect clothes and other items for needy families in your community. Have you wanted to donate but have just not gotten around to it? Not sure where to donate? Contact me now and have your donations picked up from your house free of charge!
When?
The drive will be held on Sunday, November 18th. Be sure to be in contact before that date to have your address added to the route.
How?
Contact me at [email protected] or call me at 207-431-8138 if you want to participate.
Remember any amount you donate is worth the effort. It’s all going to a good cause!
I gave flyers out
to my friends
and family to
distribute at
their
workplaces.
I also put a stack
at “The
Swap”, a local
consignment
shop which
also raises
money for
shelters.

REACTION
Participation was around what was

RESULTS
My first attempt at an organized clothes
drive was a success
Several large bags of clothes and goods
were donated
People liked the idea and said they
would participate again
The concept I had
was simple
This can be done in
any town by any
person
It only takes one free
day and a little effort
to give on a larger
scale
Flyers are easy to
make and distribute
LOOKING FORWARD
CHANGES FOR NEXT TIME
I plan on having another drive next spring
Learning from the first attempt, there are many
ways to make it more efficient
More flyers handed out at more locations
More notice on the flyers (I had one week)
Add businesses as well as residential homes
TAKE AWAY Setting up a project like this can be
overwhelming at first
Once you get into it, becomes easy
Very simple idea can get you good results
Giving back can be fun
Personally rewarding to know you are helping
out.
