I would recommend editing your question to ask if this would be a good experience for community service/an extracurricular.

I know lots of people use GoFundMe. I would recommend advertising using social media and possibly reaching out to local news outlets. The question would be how you would ensure the money goes to the people who need it and those you are advertising to would know that as well.

Good luck!!!

I am unsure why you are asking this question on collegevine. The question does not relate to college whatsoever. However, my suggestion is to look into organizations that are already doing this (there are likely several) and offering to volunteer for their cause

I assumed that it would come across as an community service/initiative/extracurricular for college but I guess my wording wasn’t the best. My bad, I’m very new at this posting thing.

They're probably hoping to get a boost in the admissions process by doing this (extracurricular). But it's still a good idea regardless.
