My first line of attack was to reach out via social media (Facebook) and construct an online group specifically for this project. Then, I sent invites to all friends in the surrounding area, giving them insight into what the project was about and what donations would be acceptable for the project (the service had guidelines as to what would be accepted). After that, I set up donation boxes at my previous place of employment, and at the homes of two of my friends, which I collected two months later. All in all, we had a hefty collection of soaps, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpastes, feminine hygiene items, coloring utensils, coloring books, puzzle books and more.
