Campaign idea: Her living room fills with donations
A volunteer found refugees living with almost nothing nearby. Now her living room fills with donations every week.
This story
After learning people were living in desperate conditions just miles from her house, she joined a local Care4Calais volunteering group. She visited a nearby hotel housing around 60 refugees to list essential items, then collected clothes from friends and family. Her son launched an online fundraiser, relatives helped hand out donations, and her living room now fills with bags of clothes each week.
What your brand could do
Supply essential clothing for everyone staying at the hotel. Provide transport for her weekly distribution trips.
