Charity Drive Ideas for August B-day Party

The Children First Academy in Tempe is a school for homeless children and I'm sure they're always accepting school supplies. http://cfatempe.org/. My childrens' school does an event for them in February giving not only school supplies but also personal items, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. and small toys (remember no batteries-they're not going to get replaced). And giving to less fortunate children is something kids can understand. Sounds like a great party for your daughter inviting the whole class, have fun!

I agree with the previous poster - public schools (probably all schools really!) will take donations all year long. Hospitals also will use the school supplies for therapies and keeping kids busy, or maybe even a homeless shelter?

I bet the Child Crisis Center of the EV would take them any time. Plus, I know they can always use clothes, toiletries, diapers, etc.

Cudos to you and your daughter for asking for donations instead of gifts. Cardon Children's Hopsital on Dobson has toy closets for the kids, you could donate toys to them (call the hospital for details). Any public school would gladly take school supplies all year round. The Boys & Girls Club would probably take school supplied in August. The United Food Bank is always accepting donations. Happy Birthday to your daughter.
