A No-Stress Alternative To Traditional Fundraisers

Organizing a fundraiser can often feel like a second full-time job—product orders, tight deadlines, and the pressure to sell. Bags for Bucks skips all that. It’s a streamlined approach designed for real-life schedules and limited resources.

This program takes the pressure off your volunteers and supporters by asking for something simple: gently used items people already have at home. There’s no financial commitment, no inventory to manage, and no complicated setup.

In a place like La Vergne, where families are busy and time is precious, this program offers a way to raise funds while preserving your community’s energy and goodwill.

A Great Fit For La Vergne’s Local Groups

Whether fundraising for a school event at La Vergne High, organizing a church trip, or supporting a neighborhood nonprofit, Bags for Bucks adapts to your needs. 

It’s ideal for:

  • School booster clubs and classroom fundraising
  • Youth sports teams and rec leagues
  • Church ministries, outreach efforts, and events
  • Scouts, band programs, and after-school activities
  • Local nonprofits and service groups

No matter your group’s size or focus, you’ll find it easy to unite the community under one goal—supporting a worthy cause without asking for a dime.

How The Bags For Bucks Program Works

Launching a Bags for Bucks drive is straightforward and completely free. 

Here’s what you’ll do:

  1. Request donation bags from America’s Thrift Stores using our online form.
  2. Distribute bags to your group, supporters, and community partners.
  3. Collect gently used items—clothing, shoes, books, linens, and more.
  4. Return filled bags to the nearest America’s Thrift Store location.
  5. Get paid for every qualifying bag you submit.

You control your drive’s length and timing—whether it’s a short weekend blitz or a multi-week effort that builds momentum over time.

Impact That Reaches Beyond Your Group

One of the most rewarding parts of the Bags for Bucks program is the positive ripple effect it creates. By raising funds for your group, you also help support environmental and social good.

All donated items are evaluated and either resold affordably or responsibly recycled. This helps reduce waste in Middle Tennessee and promotes sustainability across communities.

Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from every sale supports programs that focus on:

  • Addiction recovery and rehabilitation
  • Children’s healthcare and well-being
  • Job training and employment support

Your simple donation drive can spark meaningful change for individuals and families beyond La Vergne.
