Opportunities by Month
The following
is a list of suggested donations by month for

present these ideas to your church, club, business,
or other civic organization. Start a donation
drive and experience the joy of helping the
children at Solutions for Change! This list
is by no means definitive and we could certainly
use any of these items any time of the year.
