Charity Work
BAMBI is a non-profit organization. Surplus funds raised through membership, donations and activities are donated to local charities which reflect BAMBI's concerns and priorities. Our charities team is committed to helping a number of local charities that are focused on children and/or mothers. We make regular visits to and ensure that the funds and items that BAMBI members have donated are being used appropriately. In any given year, the committee may choose to focus on one or two charities as principle benefactors. BAMBI charities team collects necessary items to donate, distributes (or facilitates) donations of items, motivates/facilitates volunteers, organizes fundraising events, raises awareness of BAMBI members of organizations to support.

 

Donations
Donations of used goods are always greatly appreciated. The charities team will try to sell any good quality items (baby equipment, books, toys, etc.) at the bi-annual BAMBI Bring & Buy Sale in order to pass the proceeds and any unsold goods to the charities we support.

We are always looking for new ideas for worthy causes to support. Please let us know if you know of any charity which could use our help. For more information and for a comprehensive listing of items you can donate, please contact charities@bambiweb.org
