Find out how your donations create jobs in your community.
We value all types of philanthropic giving and want to ensure that our donors give in ways that are meaningful to them. Maybe you want to join the thousands who donate their gently used items to us each year? Maybe you may want to make a financial gift? Or perhaps you might like to give opportunities to job seekers as a business partner.
Whatever form of giving you wish to engage in, we want you to know that you are valued and that your giving represents a significant investment in our mission of Building Lives That Work®.
Donate gently used items, make a financial gift, and/or become a community partner.
