1.Check with your church, synagogue or other religious group to find out if it is collecting donations for food baskets. If so, find out what's needed.
2.Buy several frozen turkeys or hams and bring them to the Rotary Club, Elks or another civic group to distribute as it sees fit.
3.Donate bags of potatoes, stuffing mix, bottles of soda, and ingredients for pies that people can use to make their own meals.
4.Offer canned goods such as vegetables and soups to charity drives or food kitchens in your area.

If you would like to Donate to help a Family have a Great Dinner but cant afford what charity's ask i am making a PayPal to collect funds and once it hits 50-100$ it will be sent in this way members of KWWH can even donate 1$ to the cause it will all add up i came up with this idea when i found out even our own members of KWWH where trying to just put what they can together for Thanks Giving.

[Prohibited]

The part that requires me to send money to your personal paypal account leaves me skeptical about your motive .

[MrPeanut420]

Prohibited you do not have to send me anything you can go buy a food voucher and give it to a poor family your self or donate right to the source this is only a option for people that cant do much but might have a buck laying around on PP

is another way to help people these are prices on what people can get
with your help

[barcodenation]

Yeah even if you don't know a specific person to help if you order a package and no one picks it up then they'll donate it to a needy family

[iMage]

where is the proof if someone donates to this particular paypal that the money goes to a legitimate charity? and if it is a legit charity will they/you provide a reciept for tax purposes?

[MrPeanut420]

well first iMage this is a tutorial on how to set up a gift box dinner for a family in need

if anyone does put any donations in my pay pal i will provide any proof needed for the donations and Tax purposes

but there is many ways people can help from giving time at a soup kitchen to donating can goods or just bring a dinner to a family in need

[iMage]

i do donate every holiday season to the local foodbanks here for familys in need in my local area. I dont know about sending donations to you though,no offense,but would rather send money to a legitimate charity for this purpose. If you are a recognized charitable organization then sure

[MrPeanut420]

like i said my PayPal is only listed for people that cant donate online due to most charity's not taking PayPal or because they may only have a 1$ or 2 because most charity's
ask for $30.00 or more at a time but i understand where your coming from but like i said i have no issue posting Screen shots of the Donation and you know me i suck at photo shop lol.
