Cheaper postage for charity mailings
 
A charity that I make blocks for (Covered in Love) just partnered with Give Back Box to help reduce our shipping costs. You can fill a box with 70 lbs & send it UPS for $15.

If your particular charity is not a partner yet you can contact them at [email protected]

I like the idea that the return address on the label is not your address but instead, it is the address of Give Back Box. So if the box is not delivered it goes back to Give Back Box & they see that it gets to your designated charity.
Here's the link if anyone is interested:

This is really great, thanks for sharing it! I volunteer with Project Linus and we have people who want to donate fabric to us all the time, but it's so expensive to ship. Maybe this will help.

willferg: I did not see Project Linus on the partner list but it should be very easy to get them added by just contacting Give Back Box through their email & go through the process of having them added. I hope you are someone from Project Linus will be able to add them to the partner list soon so donators can take advantage of this great shipping price reduction offer.

I would like to see Quilts of Valor added to the list also.

For anyone else who might be interested in this & your charity is not on the partner list, please contact Give Back Box & add them to the list. I don't know if the official organization is the one who has to add their organization to the list or if just anyone can add them but I would think it would have to be someone from the official organization. GBB could tell you when you contact them.
