Volunteers Can Raise Funds For Charity Through Stamps

Churches and other groups who would like to raise money for a charitable cause can save the stamps they get on their mail and then turn them into money.

These types of programs "recycle" United States and foreign stamps and postcards and turn them into funds used for charity. Obviously, the more people that save their stamps, the more stamps will be accumulated and the more money will be raised. When you put all those stamps together, it adds up.


Many stamp dealers - including us (dmhcollectibles) and The Stamp People would be happy to buy the stamps you save up. If you represent a charitable group that's interested in a program like this, just contact dmhcollectibles or The Stamp People for easy instructions on how it's done. It's simple, and anyone - young or old - can do it.


Stamps that can be saved include canceled commemorative stamps, definitive (regular) stamps, airmail, express, foreign, duck, state conservation, high denomination definitives, picture postcards, unused stamps (regardless of age) and stamp collections (complete or incomplete). The stamps can be on paper kiloware or off paper, already soaked from their envelopes.

Raise some money for a good cause out of something you've just been throwing away!
