Donate Items or Host a Donation Drive
Many nonprofits have very limited budgets so donating items can really help them fulfill their mission. These items can be donated by individuals or by hosting a donation drive with a group. HandsOn San Diego is not able to verify volunteer hours for donating items or hosting donation drives. The benefitting organizations may be able to provide documentation to verify time spent on a donation drive.
