Where do I get donations? Donate products/services/perks from your own business or place of employment. Donate your own time and talents. Encourage friends/relatives/business contacts to donate. Get together with another Barnhart family to put together a party or package. Approach local businesses to request donations. I probably have some contacts, but I can’t think of them. Who cleans your house, windows, carpets, or does handyman work for you? Where do you shop frequently? Is there a salesperson, manager, or owner with whom you’ve become well acquainted? Where do you get your nails or hair done, clothes altered/repaired/or cleaned? Is there a travel agent you know well? Do you have contacts in the hotel, airline, railway, or ship industries? Do you belong to any private clubs or time-shares? Do you have season tickets to sporting or art venues? Do you have any clients who would like to support Barnhart by donating a product or service, maybe even tickets to an exclusive event? Do you have a boat or home that’s great for entertaining?
