Locally, we have a swap meet called Larryville.com which acts like Craigslist. Last year, a kid named Case started to collect items for people in need around Holiday time. He was unable to complete this task this year and I volunteered to run the program. I signed up for a Gmail account and am using it to track requests and get donations. The color coded label function allows a friend and I to keep track of all the people in need of help. It has been a great tool to use and organize all the donations to people. We have helped raise over $1000 worth of donations and that number is still rising. Gmail is just making it much more efficient.
