Guidelines for Effective Giving in Support of Disaster Relief ഀ
Before beginning any sort of collection drive, it is important to first call a charitable agency and confirm that there is a need for the donation and that they are able to accept it.ഀ
Several organizations active in disaster relief have published guidelines that offer practical advice on steps that should be taken prior to starting a collection drive or purchasing ഀ
items to donate to disaster relief.
