DONATE
Inventory Donations
"When a corporation goes beyond its initial product line and area of service, it’s called brand extension. In nonprofits, we call it mission creep, and because charities are in the business of changing the world, their leaders often cannot seem to stop themselves from seeing every need as a call. The result is too many directions, no mission clarity, diffused expertise, and donor confusion." https://valcort.com/7-reasons-nonprofits-flounder-or-fail/. In other words, don't bite off more than you can chew.
Focusing our mission on providing free and consistent access to work, weather, and school appropriate clothing, personal care/hygiene products, and cleaning supplies in a way that can restore dignity and self-esteem – a hand up to brighter days.
