The Sisters of the Holy Cross, located in Notre Dame, Indiana, is one organization that still collects cancelled stamps. All you must do is cut the stamp off the envelope; being sure to leave at least 1/4 inch around the stamp. Bag them up & mail them to the Sisters. That is all there is to it! (Just to give you an idea — approximately 1,000 cut stamps equal 1 pound! That is a lot of stamps!)
When the Sisters receive the stamps, they prepare & sort them. They then sell sets of stamps at auction to collectors to raise money for their ministry projects.
