Charity Donations

It's not uncommon to have extra projects and materials taking up space in our already overflowing closets.  Instead of stockpiling, why not make something and give as a charity donation?

The following groups are seeking donations for a wide variety of worthy causes.  Please visit their websites for details on what items are acceptable, where to donate, and what guidelines you should use.

If you know of a worthy cause accepting donations, please let us know and we'll add it to the list!
