Junk Munkiez Holiday Donations

Junk Munkiez had a goal this last holiday season. To help those in need by bringing the community together. From the 22nd of November til the 24th of December 2018 Junk Munkiez offered free service to those in need! Normally, belongings that are no longer wanted but are still in good condition are donated to accepting donation facilities but we had an idea. What if we could gather a list of names of individuals around Springfield and Eugene, Oregon that were looking for particular goods this holiday season and see if anybody else around town was willing to donate those needed items to them. Junk Munkiez would be the middle man by picking up and delivering them for free. 

We started the project by publishing and promoting a video on Facebook about our plans and if anyone was interested. Word spread quickly and people began responding. We quickly learned of individuals who are homeless and in need of things as simply as a jacket! Other's were just getting into a home and were in need of basic furniture like a kitchen table. One lady was looking out for her friend by asking if we could acquire children's bikes for their friend's kids. Our last participate lost her home and belongings in a fire and was still working to get back on her feet.

To recognize and appreciate the people who donated to the ones in need, we posted pictures and videos of the person who donated next to the item they gave next to a picture of the individual who received it. We explained to the receiver who donated it and what they looked like by showing their pictures or by posting them online on our Facebook page. We even managed to get some individuals communicating with each other. Talk about spreading holiday cheer!
