Hollywood Robin Hood continued
"Hollywood Robin Hood" is simply a contact list of local Los Angeles nonprofit groups which utilize household goods, clothing, food, etc. The purpose of the Hollywood Robin Hood list is to make it easy for potential donors to contact the organizations which will best utilize their donations. In Hollywood our unique target donors are the studios and productions, which dispose of thousands of dollars worth of perfectly good furniture, housewares, clothing, toys, school supplies, food and building materials weekly. The reason that most of these goods are wasted is due to the lack of time, labor, storage, and motivation. The purpose of the Hollywood Robin Hood list is to make donations quick and easy, which may inspire more frequent donations! Also included in the list are recycling centers for items commonly used on studio sets, but seldom recycled: batteries, light bulbs, building materials, electronics, etc. I propose to make this list available to all production employees, but specifically the art department personnel who handle most of the practical set dressing that is seen on camera.
The L.A. Satsang can support "Hollywood Robin Hood" in any of the following ways:
by helping research the list, assuming the expense of copying the list, and distributing and publicizing the list. It may be possible to set up a web site for others to reference the list electronically and for us to receive feedback. The list will also need to be periodically updated and redistributed. Give us your feedback. email Jill.
RESEARCH: finding charities will take some time on the phone and computer as well as verifying the charity will take many hours of driving and visiting to each one.
DISTRIBUTION: asking the major prop houses (10 or so) to offer a stack of lists in a common area and check back each month to replenish them. A notice may be sent out to the rest of our personal friends in the film industry notifying them of the list as an attachment.
Email Jill to find out more about how you can help in a way that works for you.
