You know when children start stamp collections? You buy those little packages of stamps from around the world to put in your albums.....those are collected by charities and given to these organizations that remove the envelope paper and re-package them for sale. they use the funds from these sales for charitable projects or self sufficiency.

I know this one charity, that had a great donor, who was a stamp collector.
Every year he gave about $6,000 CDN. They saved the stamps every year and after has annual donation they sent him a package.
It cost them little ($1) in mailing costs, created a great relationship with him. It was a win-win situation for all involved.
I don't know if they still do it, and in this case they did not ask donors to collect for them. I hope this helps.

Not very sure. Going to check for you. Coming right back.
By the way tell you some jokes, and the jokes goes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.

they collect them and put them in an album, and sell them in museums and other stamp collectors.
