Product Philanthropy

Woman shops in thrift store

Things that most people take for granted can often change the lives of others. New bedsheets can help a family get back on their feet after a fire destroys their home; binders and notebooks will help children to reach their potential at school, and a new desk can help someone improve their job-seeking skills.

Donating material goods is an easy way to make a meaningful contribution to your local community. Through the United Way of Tri-County’s product philanthropy programs, you can donate items with the knowledge that they will be used by families in need who may have been devastated by a house fire or are moving into permanent housing after living in a shelter. Others are working hard to make ends meet and benefit greatly from the ability to purchase items at a significantly reduced cost. The everyday items we take for granted can often change the lives of others.
