Many years ago I used return address labels from the National Wildlife Federation and other nature- and medicine-based charities. Then I started printing my own labels using the Avery system of buying blank sticky labels and printing them at home with my name and address. The last time I tried that, the process was hellishly frustrating, ending with the paper jamming in my printer and the sticky labels tangled in the gears. I vowed in the future to buy directly from charities again.
But where? A quick search this morning wasn't productive. And my understanding of most label-printing services (like the Walmart pictured above) is that my $$ goes to Walmart or the check-printing company and not to the charity. My "support" for the charity thus becomes having their name or logo microprinted on the label.
I wonder if any readers are purchasing return address labels from charities.
My aunt used to donate to Disabled Veterans of America and they always included personalized return address labels with their mailings. St. Jude Children’s Hospital, March of Dimes and the ASPCA also used to send labels. We’ve had to cut back on charitable giving after we retired so I don’t have any current personal info, sadly.
