Giving without money is easier than you think!
There are two basic categories of moneyless donations:
Time & Stuff
Most accountants agree that these two donation categories will not directly impact your bank statements in a negative fashion. Your time has immense value to MAC as does the personality, ideas and motivation attached to it. We can always find some way for you to help us out... in fact there is a page devoted to uses of your time...RIGHT HERE!
MAC also takes STUFF. We have uses for lots of things you might be looking unload. Below is a list of stuff MAC would love for you to unload on our door step (more precisely, give to our Lobby Manager so he can write you a donation receipt).
