Okay here's the plan....


1. On the first Friday (January 2nd) We can start our drop offs, deliver your donations to your favorite charities. I'll provide a list of some well-knowncharitable foundations.

2. To accomodate those whom may be busy on the 2nd I decided to extend the event through the 5th. That way we can make drop offs throughout the weekend leadingup till Monday.

3. For those that participated I'd like you all to take pictures of your donations. That way we can keep track of the impact we are having. Go ahead andinclude the charity, date, and a description with the pictures (if you'd like).


The more the merrier, let your family know, your friends, and anyone you think would like to participate.


PM or post any thoughts, opinions, ideas and anything you'd like to say about this blueprint.

How does this sound?


Some Charities.

1. The Salvation Army.
2. Goodwill Industries.
3. Soles4Souls. (This charity collects and donates gently used shoes for children and adults in need). http://www.soles4souls.org/index.html
4. The American Red Cross.
5. AmVets (www.amvets.com)

Many of these places will schedule a pick-up and come to you. Visit the websites for more details. Alternatively many places have drop boxes for those of us onthe go.

Don't forget churches, mosques, temples and other places of God that will happily take your donation. Check to find out which places are looking fordonations before hand.

Please feel free to include any charities that I have not listed.
 
Yo bro im down for that for sure

Im located in Cali BTW

Mods this can be a good thing in the making
 
Sounds like another good cause for NT to do. I'd donate some stuff for sure.
 
I've been thinking about something like this for a while now... I have alot of stuff I need to get rid of but didn't know what to do with it..

Sorry I haven't been able to follow up my internet gave out last night, waiting for some mod/admin support on this thing. I need to put more thought intothis, I'll be back later I have to run some errands.


Any ideas on how we organize this would be highly appreciated.

I'm working on no sleep right now, mad drained. Be back later....
 
good idea, but how will all the clothes be gathered? would the donater have to ship?
 
This is really good .

We can gather everything throughout the year and ship on Dec. 1st just in time for the holidays

I'm def. down. it's always good to give to the less fortunate

I guess there lies the problem

shipping fees. I couldhave everything shipped over here but I wonder If I were to deliver it to a charity would it all be concentrated to the surrounding areas? I'd like for itto be a more widespread thing, I guess it'd be more effective in one concentrated area though....


Hmmm....I'd be willing to put up some of the shipping fees though. If others would be willing to pitch in. I'm willing to put up if others are reallyserious to get this going.
 
OR................



we could all just drop them off at the local Goodwill and call it a day.

It can have the NT stamp on it if we can get at least, lets say 100 people to donate? That'd be 100 more Niketalkers that would donate than they wouldotherwise (I don't know If I'm making sense right now, drifting in and out of conscienceness so bare with me please).

I'll start it off, I'm going to put up pics a little later of what I intend to donate. Lets decide on a date we all go do this, we don't need tohave everything shipped to one place. All we need to do is go to our local Goodwill/Salvation army/Church/Mosque/Temple or what have you and give. Thats allthat really counts is the commitment and the action.

Perhaps if we do this effectively we can think about a more organized one in the future. Use this as a test run, lets see how many people we can get to godonate locally before we do anything en masse.
 
damn man...i literally just cleaned out my closet monday night and gave it all to goodwill

i'll ahve to catch next years though. Its def a good idea

word, I dont see the importance of having any stamp on it. As long as we help out the needy, we dont need any type of recognition.
