How To 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, the person should rely on one's closet for the donations. This means that one has to look through the closet to see any clothing that are still in good condition. There are surely a lot of clothing one have not work in a while. If the person does not need those items anymore, then it will be more appropriate to just give them away.

The person might also accidentally come into those clothes that do not fit them anymore. Most people usually forget about those clothes that do not fit anymore because they keep on saving it in the hopes that they can still wear it in the future. Do not just leave it in the closet. This can still be useful for those kids who do not have clothes they can wear.

Try to get the assistance of everyone in the neighborhood too. If the person cannot wait for these neighbors to go to the person's house, then going door-to-door should do the trick. It is easier to collect gloves and socks without any pair if the person can go door-to-door. Such items are still useful for the orphaned kids.

There may be times when the person has to many coats in his or her closet. If there are lots in there, just give them to the kids. They will surely need it, especially in the winter months. Of course, do not forget to wash them before giving them away. There should also be no stains or torn areas in them before one sends them as donations.

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.

Before bringing the donations to the shelter, it might be helpful to contact the said shelter first. With this, the person can determine whether they will have a schedule for their donations. Ask them for the specific hours by which they will be receiving the donations. This way, one does not have to waste time and money.

There are also those people who are not capable of dropping off their donations personally to the shelter. What the person needs to do at this point is to check some local religious organizations, civic groups, and clubs. They might have some programs that allow people to donate to orphans.

Another option that people can take is the leaving of the clothing in a drop-off box. There are surely a lot of places with a drop-off box, waiting for kindhearted people to donate to orphan children in Mexico. Most of the drop-off boxes are positioned in well-known stores nowadays.
