COMMUNITY WISH LIST OF SAN MATEO COUNTY
The idea behind the Community Wish List is simple. Instead of
asking for checks,
local nonprofit organizations list items
they
would like donated in order to serve
the community better. People
find pleasure in giving gifts to others, particularly
things that might otherwise go into landfill.
