The Arizona Daily Star publishes a Community Wish List every Tuesday for nonprofits.
Nonprofits registered as 501c(3) organizations are eligible to participate for free.
Email wishlist@tucson.com with your list of up to 10 items in order of priority.
Include the name of your organization as it should appear in print and a description of your mission in 15 words or less. Provide a physical address where you can receive donated items, a phone number and a website address.
Community Wish List is a collaboration of the Star and Heather Hiscox, founder of WishListHero.org, and Amelia Klawon, a nonprofit consultant.
One nonprofit that recently listed its donation needs had a successful response.
Operation Barnabas representative Dawn Hawk told Wish List that her organization received several donations of needed items including quilting material, used clothing and a pickup truck full of hygiene items. Also, a church contacted the group to say it wanted to help collect care packages for the homeless, Hawk said in an email.
“We were not expecting the response that we received from the Wish List,” Hawk wrote.
“Your Wish List opened so many doors for new resources.”
