What Can I Donate?
Lights for Life primarily collects holiday string lights- non-working is okay! Lights for Life reclaims the copper and PVC that they contain and sells the material back to the manufacturing industry. The funds received are used to help children with cancer and their families with medical bills and other expenses not covered by insurance, along with sponsoring kids camps and helping to fund childhood cancer research.
You can donate your vehicle! (click here to learn more)
