Quick answers

Things we get asked a lot.

How much of my donation actually goes to kits? +

Most of it. We buy supplies wholesale, our team is unpaid, and we don't have an office. The remainder covers shipping to shelters, the bag itself, and basic operating costs.

Are you a registered 501(c)(3)? +

Yes. We incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in February 2025. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. You'll receive a receipt by email after donating.

I want to start a chapter at my school. What does that involve? +

A small commitment, mostly. You'll need three to five students, a faculty sponsor, and ideally one shelter partner near you. We'll send our chapter playbook and do a video call to walk you through it. Most chapters run their first kit drive within a month.

Can I donate physical supplies instead of money? +

Sometimes — but cash usually goes further. Because we buy in bulk, every dollar stretches significantly compared to retail prices. If you want to donate supplies (especially full unopened cases of soap, toothpaste, or feminine products), email us first so we can coordinate.

Are volunteer hours certified for school requirements? +

Yes. We track volunteer hours and provide signed verification for service-hour requirements (NHS, IB CAS, and similar). Just let us know what form your school uses.
