So basically I run it out of my apartment at this point. It’s nothing formal yet but I had a lot of bulk mtg cards that I wanted to give away so I have out little packs to an LGS in my area for kids who wanted to play commander and couldn’t afford decks. Then I made a post on an lgbt facebook group I’m in offering some up to people and groups in my area that lead me to giving some to 3 school programs, a library group, a veterans group that I’ve worked with multiple times and a bunch of local families during the holidays. I’ve gotten donations from all over western Mass so far as well as a generous amount from Battleground games in Norton. I started a Facebook group for it a couple months ago but have yet to post anything substantial, as I was looking for a job but now that I’m settled and have more free time, I’m gonna post more regularly and commit myself more fully to using it.

Reach out to the BSA Western Massachusetts Council. They have a similar program that is, no offense, a bit more mature. They've been sourcing cards for a long, long time.

🤔 not sure about all that. I don’t donate to anything I can’t verify. Thanks for the tip about the BSA though. Deleting the post too? Def sus.
