Our mission is simple.  Make donating to charitable organizations, shelters and soup kitchens, easy, fun and interactive.  Not all of us can find the time to volunteer or go shopping for specific items that so many organizations need right now to help out the growing number of people that need that help; some of them for the first time and very recently.

It occurred to me one day while visiting the dollar store that by simply spending $10 I could make sure that at least one person had enough to eat for the next week or a hat, gloves and socks to last all winter, personal care items to last them over a month or even a few items to read or keep themselves occupied for a while. 

So here is what we are going to do.  You can donate anything from $1 to $1000, it's up to you.  But you are not just donating money, you are donating items!  When we launch, we will look just like a regular e-commerce store front that you would normally surf online.  You can pick and choose items that you want to donate, or just pick a category for us to put your money toward.  Do you want your item donations to help women, or men or kids, or even the growing number of family pets finding themselves homeless? 

You pick out the items, or pick out a package, then simply check out using your credit card or even your PayPal account.  Make it a family activity and let the kids pick some items.  Group together a couple bucks from everyone in the office and pick out a helpful package.  This is the one place where one single dollar can make a difference.

Please come back and visit us when we launch live.  Our target date is June 30, 2009.  If you have questions, please send them to info@dollarstoredonations.org.
