Most of us have lives filled with things we don't use -- shoes, food, clothes, computers, and more. At the same time, thousands of non-profits and civic-minded people are struggling to get basic items to people in their communities. We see an opportunity to connect these groups together. Our approach is to mobilize people to donate items in a way that is more social and fulfilling for everyone. Using Good360, donors are given more choice regarding where items go, and they can see the impact of their donations. Non-profits in poor and under-served communities benefit from national exposure and from the power of the internet to mobilize citizens to take action. Most importantly, people in need get an army of advocates to champion their causes. |
