Answer 3

Start a drive and deliver the items to a local charity that serves children and families in need or your local Department of Human Services.

You can do a drive for almost anything, depending on the time of the year.  Do a couple of drives a year.  Right now I am doing one for - baby bottles.

Diapers

School Supplies

Clothing

Shoes

Mittens and Gloves
