National Fundraising
There are a variety of ways that people can donate to Freegle nationally, either by direct payment or by using services that donate to a chosen charity. (see Donations for Freegle for details).
The website also has a facility to donate - https://www.ilovefreegle.org/donate - and members are asked to help on Freegle Direct group pages when they have completed a successful transaction.
Occasionally, there are competitions that Freegle nationally have entered, two successful ones have been:
