Charitydrives.org
Charitydrives.org answers the questions:
According to the site, Charitydrives.org was created in response to the needs of Hurricane Katrina survivors when its creator, Chris Seta, realized that there wasn't one site that listed charity drives across the nation.
When I did a search for charity drives within a 100 mile radius of the San Francisco Bay Area, the only results were 13 Salvation Army-Donation Centers. Seems like charitydrives.org needs to get the word out about their services, so help 'em out and let folks know about the site.
Where can I go to get rid of all this junk piled up in the corner of the garage?You can either search on the site for a charity drive in your neighborhood within a 10, 25, 50 or 100 foot radius, or organize your own charity drive. They even provide a 101 on Running a Charity Drive.
Where can I go to donate food/goods/clothing to a good cause?
How am I going to spread the word about my charity drive?

Cool Site - But how do we drive traffic and get people using?
Charitydrives.org is definetely a cool site, i wonder how they index their sites to donate. From what i searched - it seems to show only professional charity drop off points like the Salvation Army, Mission Thrift and YMCA.
There are so many valuable sites online, but how to drive users to propagate their information? Well i for sure next time i organize a charity drive in my high school!, i'll be sure to post the information online!
Any ideas?
Jorge!
