CHARITABLE OUTREACH
Wee World is excited to be working with Blue Bonnet Babies, a local charitable organization whose members promote 'Crafting for Charity'. They reach out to families and children in need by making and donating items to: University Hospital NICU, St. Luke's Baptist Hospital NICU, Baptist Medical Center NICU, Balcones Police Dept., Ft. Sam Houston, Operation Home Front, Schertz Animal Shelter and Universal City Animal Shelter. Wee World supports Blue Bonnet Babies by encouraging our consignors to consider donating any of their unsold items. Your donations make a huge difference for so many families across San Antonio. Feel free to visit their website and learn more at www.angelcrafts.net/bluebonnetbabies.
“We've made one delivery to Seton Home with the maternity clothes, the high chair and tubs, toys, and baby/toddler clothes. I made sure they received all of the Halloween and Christmas outfits. One of our members took the swings to the hospital she works at for their nursery. I am contacting the pastor of a church where one of our members belongs to donate the bigger kids clothes and the household items. The baskets will be used to hold cookies that we bake and take to Fisher House at Ft. Sam” -Judy S (Blue Bonnet Babies, Fall 2007 sale).
How can you help? You can assist these families by choosing to donate any of your unsold items. When using our online tagging system, you can indicate which items you would like to donate if they are not sold. The letter "D" will appear on your tag letting us know that you would like to donate this particular item if it does not sell. Then we will do the rest. All items are tax deductible.
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
Option A: Register your school, charity or organization with us as a consignor and receive a consignor number and guidelines. Solicit donations of children's items (clothes, toys, furniture, equipment) or household furnishings & decor to be consigned with us for our weekend sale. You can either ask for donors to price their own items or you can have a Pricing Party and have your members price all the items, following our tagging instructions. Then bring the donated items to our sale on the designated days and wee'll do the rest. Your organization will then receive 70% of the sale price of your items.
Option B: (You must be a 501(c)3 non-profit, school or recognized organization to participate in this option). Print our Charity Cash Coupon, fill it out and make copies to pass out to everyone in your organization, their friends and families. Each time someone presents one of these coupons at their time of purchase, your charity receives $1. There is no need to register with us to participate in this option. (charity cash coupon is in adobe format, if you do not have adobe download it HERE)
