Organize a Clothing & Item Drive

A picture of clothing donations organized on shelves.

Drives create great visibility of your internal mission to support Bridges and sparks that do-good energy for everyone involved. Successful drives are planned around specific types of items (such as jacket drive, shoe drive, sock drive, etc). Establishing a start and end date and communicating the drive goals, encourage greater participation.
