SCHEDULE A DONATION PICKUP

As a nonprofit, we establish a cycle of giving that allows environmentally conscious donations to provide a sustainable future for our donors, employees, and mission-driven organizations

We Focus On Two Major Challenges In Our Communities 

Environmental Crisis

The world is currently facing a major environmental crisis, characterized by widespread pollution, climate change, and depletion of natural resources.
As a non-profit we:
Help individuals and families declutter their homes and identify items to donate.
Distribute reusable home items, such as furniture to individuals and families in need.
Offer free pick-up services for items that can be reused. 
Develop partnerships with local mission-driven organizations to donate things that need a new home.

Employment Opportunity

Our communities face social and economic inequality, as well as a lack of access to essential services and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
As a non-profit, we:
Work with local mission-driven organizations to create job opportunities and internships
Develop partnerships with community leaders and organizations to create networking opportunities
Work with local schools and universities to provide volunteer opportunities and internships to students
Help reduce inequality and promote economic opportunity for all

How We Achieve it?

Promote conscious and sustainable downsizing as a new norm

We promote an approach that involves careful consideration of the impact of our possessions on the environment and on our communities and making deliberate choices about what to keep and what to let go of.

Offer employment opportunities to bring people back to work

We partner with local businesses and mission-driven organizations to create job opportunities and internships.  We support skill development for individuals who are looking for work experience.

Give back to our community through service

By giving back to our community through service, we hope to foster a spirit of collaboration and compassion, and to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
