Try to time your stop near the end of the day's sale. You'll be surprised what wonderful children's furniture, clothes and toys you can pick up for minium cost to be donated to the Center. A special gift of a baby's frilly dress or baby booties might be something your Center could use to give to a woman considering abortion. Handmade blankets and baby items show the young mothers that we really care. A Sunday each month can be designated to have people drop off their items at church.
Schools can have contests between classes for collection of items.
If you speak both English and another language, consider having your name listed as a volunteer interpreter. Many times it can be very effective if the woman in crisis can speak to someone in her native tongue. You could volunteer to call clients to remind them of medical appointments or to pass information on to them. You might consider helping set up a system of supplying beverages and snacks for a center so when people come in they can be invited to have a cup of coffee, juice or a soda. And the list goes on.
