Host a Collection Drive
OHAAT depends on generous folks to host collection drives and raise awareness about child bedlessness. Individuals, businesses, faith groups, schools, scout troops, and sports teams support the Beds for Kids program by collecting bedtime items.
You’re in charge of how long your collection drive lasts! Whether it’s a few hours during a special event, a week at your workplace, a month-long community effort, or longer — you set the schedule that works best for you and your group. Every collection, big or small, makes a real difference.
Check out the list of items we accept on our Donate Items page. Determine which items you want to collect, and then follow these tips to run a successful drive:
