Supplying Needs

WHO WE ARE: Supplying Needs is a 501 (c)(3) Christian Faith Based nonprofit organization that collects corporate and private donations of food, clothing, office supplies, toys, furniture and other much needed items. We then distribute these items free of charge to the local community. We are 100% unpaid volunteers operating with a minimal budget, and we depend on the generosity of people and companies for the items we truly need to continue in our efforts.

WHAT WE DO: Supplying Needs gives directly to the poor, hungry, homeless, elderly, and people who are struggling to make ends meet. We also give to groups who are already helping their local community. As of now we have given to about 35 different groups who are all doing different things to help their surrounding area. Some give out groceries once a month to once a week. Others serve hot meals daily, some focus directly on the homeless (shelter, clothes, food, etc.) and others house and feed those who have a history of substance abuse. In 2013 Supplying Needs has received over 1,140,000 dollars worth of food, clothes, furniture and other supplies which has been distributed free of charge to the hungry and needy in Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Elk Grove, and Bakersfield. We have also been able to donate in the past few years to groups and their efforts in Mexico and Belize.

Supplying Needs also teams up with groups that receive donations from us to put on community outreach events. We have hosted a few barbecues, back-pack give aways, a concert, Safezone for Halloween, and Christmas Extravaganza where we gave over 50,000 dollars worth of gifts to children and adults to help them have a better Christmas.

WHAT WE ASK COMPANIES FOR: We approach wholesale and retail companies about contributing their non-sellable products to our efforts. Non-sellable products are items that companies can no longer sell to customers either because it is close to the expiration date, the product has been damaged, overstocked items, or it is not the quality that can be sold to a consumer. Supplying Needs has a refrigerated box truck, a mini bus, and we are in a 20,000 square foot warehouse.

OUR GOALS:

1) To be distributing nationwide and worldwide.

2) As donations of food, clothing, building supplies, toys, and other items increase, we will encourage other groups to start programs that will help meet the need in their surrounding area.

3) To be a One-Stop-Shop for groups who have a desire to make a difference in their community.
To give without any strings attached so that they can continue in their efforts in helping reach their fellow man.
