A major food drive once netted us, among other things, a 20-year-old gift set of Belgian beer.

How can a fan help get this blog out there? I want to see as many new posts as possible!

Oh goodness! Please help! I’ve had such a crazy time (what a surprise, the holiday season being insane for a NPO employee) that I almost forgot about this. Please send me in some horrid donations that you see, and I will get them out there!

Oh and apparently long ago we also had a crypt donated to us (not this same one, but you get the idea). We had it for yyyyyyyyyears until recently when one of my colleagues sold it on Craigslist.

My favorite item donated to our homeless shelter was the size 11, sparkly gold lamé spiked heel shoe....only the left one.

#weirdnonprofitdonations #nonprofit life #in kind donations #a single shoe #ididn't think id be able to use that tag more than once #whyyyyyyyyyyy #clothes

This is not really funny, more like disturbing. Some years ago I was volunteering at a transition house and had someone call with a ridiculous donation (side part of the story). The ED says "I remember when I worked at a homeless shelter and I received a call from a woman saying she had fresh baked cookies she would like to donate." Long story short, the woman broke a glass while she was baking the cookies and didn't feel they were safe for her children so thought she would donate them instead. *blank stare*

Couple years ago we got a boat donated... it's still for sale. Powers-that-be won't let it go for less than $x,xxx so there it sits, costing us storage fees every year.....
