A Better Alternative To Traditional Fundraisers

We understand that managing fundraisers can be time-consuming. Bake sales, merchandise sales, and event planning require time, volunteers, and sometimes upfront investment. Bags for Bucks offers a refreshing change. There’s no product to buy or sell, just donations from people who are happy to give.

Here’s how it works: We send you free donation bags. Your team or group distributes them to families, friends, and neighbors. They fill them with gently used items. Once full, the bags are dropped off at your America’s Thrift Store location, and we handle the rest. You earn funds for every full bag returned.

Perfect For Macon’s Community-Focused Groups

Macon’s strong sense of community and southern hospitality make it ideal for grassroots fundraising. From schools in North Macon to youth leagues in Westside, Bags for Bucks is flexible enough to support a variety of goals, big or small.

Use it to:

  • Fund educational supplies or field trips
  • Purchase uniforms and equipment for your team
  • Support mission trips, outreach efforts, or music ministries
  • Help cover competition fees or scholarship funds
  • Strengthen nonprofit programs or service initiatives

Because it doesn’t involve asking for money, participation is simple, and generous responses are more likely.

How To Launch Bags For Bucks In Macon

Starting your campaign is straightforward and stress-free:

  1. Complete the online form to request your free donation bags
  2. Hand out bags to your supporters—families, congregation members, neighbors, and coworkers
  3. Encourage them to donate clean, gently used clothing, shoes, and household items
  4. Collect and return filled bags to an America’s Thrift Store
  5. Earn money for your group based on the number of full bags returned

You can plan your drive around a season, a special event, or simply run it as an ongoing collection. The timeline is yours to decide; we’re here to support your efforts.

Make A Greater Impact While You Fundraise

Bags for Bucks is more than just a fundraising program. Every bag your group collects provides funding for your organization and supports America’s Thrift Stores’ broader mission.

That means your efforts help your group, help others, and help the planet—all at the same time.
