Easy Fundraising That Works For Busy Schedules

Traditional fundraising methods can take a toll—selling products, managing inventory, and tracking orders can eat up valuable time. Bags for Bucks streamlines the process.

Here’s how it works:

  • We send your group free donation bags.
  • Your team distributes them to supporters.
  • Bags are filled with gently used clothes, shoes, books, and household goods.
  • You return the filled bags to a nearby America’s Thrift Stores location.
  • Your group earns money for every full bag.

No selling. No complicated coordination. Just real results for your mission.
