New Goods = Service Projects
The Project part of our name relates to our goal to help the needy get all the needed goods all year long. Many of these needs are individual (wishes for furniture when one family moves out of a shelter).
But many wishes are shared by most clients at a certain time of year such as the need for backpacks in September. So, each month we run a public awareness MONTHLY SERVICE PROJECT to spur interest and generate new goods.
LIST OF PROJECTS AND DETAILS click on this link.
- All project goods are reserved for member agencies that support us by paying their yearly admin fee. No individual client wishes are accepted for project goods.
- Project goods are ordered in bulk by one identified coordinator member of each agency. Please work with us and do not place wishes for backpacks, turkey baskets, Christmas gifts etc.
- We reserve the right to restrict goods to agencies where they are most appropriate and needed. Resources are limited. For instance a blanket drive is designed to get blankets to the street homeless. Backpacks are aimed at agencies that serve children. Please let us know if you have exceptions, we will work with you. And, we do believe that everyone deserves to be gifted at Christmas regardless of age.
- Equal treatment We know that your organizations serve different sized popluations. But to be fair, we estimate tht total number of goods that we will be able to provide, split that number by the number of paid agencies and then offer equal amounts of goods to all members.
- Programs within agencies are very welcome to join separately and get a second share of goods. In fact we encourage it. This way, you can provide for your subpopulation even if your program is part of a mega agency or mulit-site agency.
We are trying to get more goods to your clients while also raising the public's awareness of the plight of the many subpopulations of needy through these projects.
Please let us know if you have comments. We welcome new projects to benefit new populations too. Contact us
