topcatklaw is on a distinguished road
Many places will donate. Keep it theme based. Lottery tickets are HUGE in baskets,maybe combine with some bath or lotion products., or with car care product in a bucket.
Wal-Mart sells the clear bags in the craft dept to bundle your theme gifts in, then tie off the top with ribbon,raffia, yarn. Don't be afraid to ask for donations. First print a short letter explaining your cause. Then do some foot work. Say you have been giving a donation of a cake pan fill it with cake mixes, measuring spoons, or skip the mix and include a cook book for cakes and or casseroles! Let your mind go crazy. You can also consider using crinkle paper at the base of your clear gift bage or use a tea towel or something to go with your theme.. Have fun... Don't forget the kids and The Red Hat ladys too when you create bags...
