twitter charity account? help me

klondikebar

I know squat about twitter. I created a community charity website a while ago. It lists local charities, volunteer information, donation requests etc. I posted about it and the board was very helpful with suggestions. It was mentioned to me IRL that I should add a twitter account. I thought I could send tweets highlighting the different local charities by suggesting a good deed or donation request.

Examples:

Drop of your extra boxes and bags at XYZ food pantry this weekend.

Take the whole family and spend an hour helping sort clothing at ABC charity.

A+ charity needs toothpaste and soap this week if you can spare a few dollars.

 

Is this a good idea or waste of time?

Would you sign up to receive these messages?

How often should I send them out?

Any other thoughts or information about twitter that would help me?

 I can always count on this board for ideas. TIA
