Tomorrow is Give Something Away Day. Most of us are lucky enough to have more than what we need to live. National Give Something Away Day allows us to share some of our abundance with others.
You can choose to buy someone a coffee, volunteer your time, or donate items you no longer need to charity. GreenDrop represents some of the best charities to donate to and collects clothing donations on their behalf. read more >>
As we mentioned earlier this week, we will be sponsoring this year’s 6 Dot Dash hosted by our partner, The National Federation of Blind. Now in its 5th year, the 6 Dot Dash is a competitive 6K run/walk through Inner Harbor of Baltimore.
This race is just one of the ways the National Federation the Blind shows their Baltimore community and the world that blindness doesn’t hold you back. Each year NFB supporters, staff and volunteers come together in addition to members of the local community to participate in the street race to raise money for and promote Braille literacy and opportunities for the blind people across the country.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide on April 22nd. Since 1970, various events have been held on this day to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
GreenDrop strives to protect the environment every day by collecting peoples’ unwanted items for charity and keeping unnecessary clothing and household goods out of landfills. Donated items are repurposed or recycled by our partner charity organizations to raise funds for their missions or programs.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are able to help recycle, repurpose and reuse 100 tons of donated clothing and lightly used household goods each week! That has the same positive effect of planting 13,900 mature trees each year!
There are plenty of ways you can support the environment on Earth Day and beyond.
Random Acts of Kindness Day started in 1995, years later the celebration has spread to many countries around the world. This day serves as a reminder that sometimes the smallest acts can have the biggest impacts and encourages people to go out and be the change they want to see in the world.
Acts of kindness come in many forms, both, big and small. How you chose to perform this act is entirely up to you. If you need some ideas check out our list below.
