Donate Items

Joy of giving – Indeed a feeling that can’t be expressed in words. Many of us believe in helping underprivileged, Differently-abled people and  the deprived section of the society. But the question arises that how to be sure if it reaches the right people, what we donate. Many Governmental and Non-governmental  NGO are working and reach out to people in their own ways to encourage people towards donations for the people in need.

I have been personally witnessing Joy of Giving week being celebrated at my workplace where in many drives like “Food/clothes Collection drive”, “Art gallery auction”, “Khusiyon Bhari Subah” etc which provide employees to experience the joy of giving.

Today, amazingly in the “Joy of Giving week”, we came across an online portal that connects donors with NGOs with the concept of donating new or used items that are in good enough condition to be donated ensuring that your donations reaches to the right people

DonateItems.in

“Donate Items” is an online marketplace dedicated to connect NGOs committed to the social cause with the ones who want to give items to the deprived section of the society in a transparent and well administered manner. NGOs can list the requirement of items that they need to serve their purpose. One can easily donate new items against the requirements of the NGO that they support. One can also buy from any E-commerce sites, pay in full and give the delivery address of the NGO directly on the shopping site.

Anyone can post the details of the used items in good condition that they wish to donate e.g. clothes, shoes, mobile phones, furniture etc.

Companies can also list their surplus items in good condition. Only NGOs registered on the site can view donation offers. An NGO who wishes to procure the item can get in touch with you.

Donors will get feedback on how the item donated by them is being used by the NGO supported with a picture/video. The story of the good deed will also be uploaded on the IMPACT section of the site.
