In their words
How Gifts-in-Kind has helped non-profits

“Our non-profit relies heavily on charity and goodwill donations to help us meet the needs of our clients. As this present economic climate affects us all, donations have become fewer and farther between. We truly appreciate the Gifts In Kind program as it enables us to address countless needs in an approporiate and timely manner.”
Eleanor Daniels,
