What We Do

GiveNKind is a logistics broker of usable goods. We recover goods from businesses, fulfillment centers, and distributors, as well as individual donors, and make those goods available at no cost to 501(c)3 nonprofits. Nonprofits receive items that support their operations and programming which in turn frees up resources to put back into services that benefit our communities. Donors receive a tax receipt and the knowledge that their goods live another life in the hands of those in need. Diverting usable goods from landfills reduces the environmental impact on all of us.

Our Impact

$192,000 worth of socks would have been thrown away because their print didn't meet 100% quality standards. These fun socks went to 16 organizations- including Fill A Heart for Kids who gifted these socks to children in foster care, group homes, and shelters. Warm feet and happy faces!
Our friends at Gigi's Playhouse received 300 weighted blankets that because of torn packaging, would have ended up in a landfill. Instead, these weighted blankets are now in the hands of special needs families who can use them to calm anxiety.
$390,000 of brand new sports apparel was donated to Social Works, the nonprofit organization of Chance the Rapper. The items were given to individuals experiencing homelessness during Taste for the Homeless, a day of fun and community for the often isolated homeless population.
Rapide donated $20,000 in jump ropes to community programs such as Beacon Place, Roberti Community House, The Sports Shed, Girls in the Game, and Chicago Public Schools’ after school sports programs.
The Employment Skills Center which provides Workforce Development Training received 500 water bottles and chill scarves from Chilled Lady. They will be given to runners at the Downtown Mile which raises funds to support their programs.
162 pairs of new sports sandals donated to Valley Youth House, an organization that provides emergency shelter, outreach and therapy to children and young adults in the Lehigh Valley
