what they reported doing

Program narrative the organization filed with the IRS. Ordered by program spending.

  1. #1 primary $79K
    OUR TOY DRIVE IS UNIQUE IN THE MANNER THAT WE ARE NOT ASKING INDIVIDUALS TO BRING TOYS TO DROP THEM OFF IN A CONTAINER INSTEAD WE ASK FOR SMALLER DONATIONS OR THE EQUIVALENT OF THE TOY THEY WOULD GO DROP OFF. BY DOING SO WE SAVE UP THE DONATION UNTIL WE HAVE ENOUGH TO BUY THE TOYS BY THE TRUCKLOADS. THIS ALLOWS FOR THE COST OF THE TOYS TO COME DOWN TO BELOW WHOLESALE PRICING. WHAT THAT MEANS IS FOR THE COST OF A SINGLE DROP OFF TOY WE ARE ABLE TO GET 3 TO 4 TOYS FOR THE SAME COST. THIS PROGRAM IS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND HAS ALLOWED US TO PROVIDE ROUGHLY 30,000 TOYS PER A YEAR TO OUR LOCAL FOSTER SYSTEMS. PROVIDING TOYS TO THE FOSTER SYSTEMS ALLOWS FOR CHILDREN THAT MIGHT NOT NORMALLY RECIEVE GIFTS TO HAVE A FULL HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE AND FEEL SPECIAL.
  2. #2 $28K
    WITH THIS PROGRAM WE DO A MIXTURE OF USED CLEAN CLOTHING DROP OFFS AND WHOLESALE PURCHASING OF CLOTHING AND HYGIENE KITS. WE UTILIZE DONATION MONEY THE COMPANY HAS PRODUCED TO ORDER ITEMS IN WHOLESALE AND BULK. FOR THE FOOD WE WORK WITH SOUTHERN ARIZONA FOOD BANK TO HELP FUND MEALS FOR THE COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE A MORE ESTABLISHED FOOD SOURCE THAT WE COULD NOT DO BETTER THAN SO WE ARE UTILIZING THE FUNDING BY DONATING DIRECTLY TO THE FOOD BANK.
