Many people want to get involved with a non-profit, charity, group but don’t know how to start. Binky Patrol solves this. You can easily volunteer on your schedule to do many activities – one at a time, of course. 🙂 Start with figuring out what brings you joy? Being with people, creating, scrolling on social media, talking to people? There is no wrong answer. Then, decide on how much time you want to start with. How about you start with one hour per month? Sounds like nothing, right? Well, that one hour can be used to have great impact right from your home at any time that is convenient. Here are some examples:

  1. If you have a piece of fleece fabric 4 feet by 5 feet and a pair of scissors you can make a blanket in less than an hour!  We even have a discount to buy fleece online if you want more than $75. It includes shipping on YourFleece.com – code is binky15
  2. Do you like to tie dye? You could get some old sheets from your local Buy Nothing group and have fun dyeing them.
  3. Crochet or knit some squares and store them up for a months.
  4. Go to the Binky Patrol website and find some fun posts and pages to share on social media a few times in the month (15 minutes 4xs) – TALK ABOUT US.
  5. Do you have craft friends? Ask the if they know about Binky Patrol and tell a few friends about it. (10 minutes 6xs).
  6. Do you work for a company that is always looking for team events, or has an annual family picnic? Submit Binky Patrol. These links would be helpful for that

  7. Cut strips of fabric from your stash. Do you have fabric in bins? We can always use cotton or flannel pieces cut to 6 inch widths.
  8. Cut white squares from old sheets. You can get clean old sheets and cut squares of 8″. We use these for events. If you have fabric stash too, match it up with patterned 8 inch blocks to make a kit!

Look how easy this was. The next time your kids say they are bored, start with this list! 🙂 You can do it too. After you are happy with an hour a month, let’s add 2-3 more and see the magic happen!
