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 try to check their source of clothing. This primarily refers to their closet. They will have to reorganize their closet to see if they have some clothes they do not wear anymore or clothes they have not worn in a while. Such clothes can be donated, especially if the condition of the clothes is still good.

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.

Coats are important items to donate as well. The kids are more prone to sickness during the winter season. More than that, it is really pitiful to experience winter without the right clothes. Some kids even die from being frostbitten. That is why, the person should try to give away coats especially when one has lots of them.

It might be necessary to give some personal items in the donations too. For example, the person might need to give sample-size shampoos or soap while donating. The kids will surely appreciate these stuff since these help them take care of their own hygiene. One can stuff these in stockings or put them in giveaway bags.

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.

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.

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.
