What a wonderful giving program. I hope that many people in Nth America use the click system when it’s back up.

Soaps, shampoos and bath gels collected from motel stays can also be donated to shelters and rape crisis centres. The women really appreciate it.

This is a great blog thriftymommy.

Well, maybe the posts at our websites helped them to get too many clicks. That would be great! I hoped they have it up and running again soon. I think I’ve clicked 3-4 times, so that can help out several women.

Uh Oh, saw this when I went to “donate.”

“Unfortunately, we have received so many clicks in the past few weeks that we are temporarily suspending the click-to-donate action until we can get all of the product out to the shelters that need it. ”

When they’re ready to start the donations again, they’ll say so in their newsletter (which you can sign up for there.) Hopefully they’ll get the program up again soon.

I guess it’s a need that easily gets overlooked. I love that this is such an easy way to donate.

Thanks for the info! I’ll post it on my site, too. It’s an obvious need, but one you might never think of, kwim?
