Hey ladies. I wanted to get your opinions on this.
My pastor's son created an organization where they turn unwanted gifts into donations to Blood Water Mission to fund wells in Africa. The way it works is that you fill out an internet form to request a prepaid shipping label. Then you take the label and use it to send an unwanted gift to them to be sold. They take the proceeds and donate them to the Blood Water Mission.
He and a friend created this organization and website after Christmas last year. But I think it could work for birthday gifts, wedding gifts and other occasions.
What do you think of this? Would you ever see yourself using something like this? I was think that if I had known about an organization when I got married, I probably would have used it to donate some of the wedding gifts I received. But I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were. Would you feel comfortable returning some of your gifts to a store if you didn't think you were going to use them (or if you are already married, did you return some things)? Or would you feel comfortable doing something like this to turn the gifts into a donation?
Here is the website if you want to check it out:
(It's still so new that they are trying to figure things out. Any feedback would be appreciated. Hopefully as time goes on, they can refine the process and grow this organization to help more people.)
