Delegate a week in May as National Charity Week.

Delegate a week in May for citizens to donate money or needed items to a charity in their area. I choose May because most everyone has received their tax refund back and may be more willing to donate the needed money these non-profit organizations desperately need. Also, most people will have started Spring cleaning and have items they are willing to donate. This would be a great way for parents to get their children involved with helping others and good way for these organizations to market themselves for the delegated week, which in turn could potentially lead to people becoming more familiar with the organizations in their area and what resources are available to a family member or someone else they know or possibly help these organizations get more citizens to volunteer their time.
