DONATE TO GOOD FAIRY
Here's how you can help Good Fairy help others
Of course we all know Good Fairies really specialize in the things money can't buy. And when we do need products or services that cost money ...we are creative and extensive in trying to find a community resource that can offer them for free. But. Sometimes we just need money. And we promise to make every cent sprout wings and fly and sparkle.

Your donation of an Ace Hardware gift card means that we'll spend every penny of your donation locally in service of our Good Fairy community. And when you purchase electronic gift cards, they are available immediately to the Good Fairy team and you do not need to worry about handling or losing plastic cards.
You can visit the Ace Hardware eGift store here and create your gift card; any amount is appreciated. Please use goodfairymarin@gmail.com as the recipient email address and follow the online instructions for purchase and delivery.

Fairy Wish List
Through our Fairy Wish List program, we work with Good Fairy community members who are in need of certain essential items. We post items needed on the Nextdoor Good Fairy group and we rally our community to fulfill these requests.
In many cases, our Good Fairy community members may not have the financial resources to purchase items and/or the transportation capabilities for pickup and delivery; through our program, Good Fairy matches people who NEED stuff with people who HAVE stuff that they no longer use and we figure out how to transport the stuff from point A to point B.
Do you need inspiration to donate your lightly-used stuff to someone who can use it? Please check out this video on YouTube...
