Want to give back to your community?
The Community Wish list Program for San Mateo
Times are tough for local non-profits. Chances are your finances are tight this year, too. But you may have some items you no longer need that a non-profit would be very happy to receive. Why not do a quick search on the Community Wish List for San Mateo County and find an organization that will put your discarded items to good use?
The idea behind the Community Wish List is simple. Instead of asking for checks, local nonprofit organizations list items they would like donated in order to serve the community better. People find pleasure in giving gifts to others, particularly things that might otherwise go into the landfill. Donors can claim a tax deduction on their taxes for contributions. If you would like additional information pertaining to the wish list program, you can locate them at www.communitywishlist.org
