My spring cleaning tasks came a little late this year as I was collecting things around my house to either recycle, donate or trash. From all the traveling that my husband and I have done over the past couple of years, we have accumulated three shoe boxes full of sample sized shampoos, conditioners, lotions and soaps. My first thought was to donate them to a women's or homeless shelter, so I hopped online to search for shelters in the area. One of the shelters mentioned an Amazon Wish List.
This is a brilliant use of online resources to get what you need. Not only are women's and homeless shelters using this tactic, but pet shelters as well. They add items to their Amazon Wish Lists that they need in order people to donate. Those that want to donate can make purchases directly from those Wish Lists and it is sent directly to the shelter. The beauty of Amazon's Wish Lists is that you can add things to the Wish List even if it's not sold on Amazon. Creating an Amazon Wish List is free.
Shelters aren't the only organizations that can benefit from from this free online resource. Various departments can create wish lists for their office needs, party planners can make a wish list for supplies needed or wanted for upcoming parties, etc. The only limit is your creativity.
