How To Efficiently Donate To Orphan Children

By Harriett Crosby


It is a social responsibility of the well-off to be kind to the less fortunate. One of the things that the well-off can do is to donate to orphan children in Mexico. They can give food, money, or clothes. For those who prefer to give clothes to these kids, here are some of the steps that they should take when they want to make donations that will uplift these kids' lives.

First of all, try to search one's closet to see if there are clothes that are worth donating. For those people who loves to buy clothes, they are surely the best sources of donations nowadays. Try to check out the clothes if they are still in excellent conditions. The items that one has not worn in a long while should already be donated.

There may be those clothing in one's closet that does not fit the person anymore. Some people save these clothing, hoping that there will come a time when they can wear it again. However, they should stop hoping for such things. There are surely a lot of kids out there who are in need of those clothing, and fit them perfectly at that.

The neighbors should be more than willing to donate their clothes too. The person can either disseminate the information or just go house-to-house to see if others can give donations too. If the person can go house-to-house, it is easier to get the clothes such as pairless gloves or socks from these people.

The person should also consider donating coats to those kids who are staying at the orphanage or shelter. This is especially recommended for those people who have too many coats in their closet. The coat is one of the many essentials that these kids will surely appreciate, especially when the winter season is about to come.

There might be some personal essentials that the person will want to put into the box. A perfect example of such essentials is a sample-size shampoo. If not this, then soap should be a good alternative as well. When it comes to personal essentials, these are those items that will promote cleanliness and hygiene.

Do not forget to contact the orphanage or shelter first before dropping off the donation. This is because not letting them know about the donation beforehand might caught them in surprise. There might be no one who can receive the donation. If not that, they might have a schedule for accepting donations too.

The person might be busy to drop the donations off personally to the shelter or orphanage, though. In this case, just rely on civic groups, local religious organizations, and clubs. They can give their support and assistance for the donations that one has prepared.

It should also be possible for the person to leave the donations at a drop-off point. Most of the times, there are drop-off points being plastered all over town, especially if there is some sort of tragedy that occurred. Try to check well-known stores to see if they are one of those drop-off points to donate to orphan children in Mexico.
