Charity Works Inc

Charity Works Inc, an organization dedicated to assisting charitable nonprofits, has a mission to promote charitable giving and aid these organizations in managing their resources more effectively when used to acquire goods and services from others. By doing so, they aim to strengthen the outreach efforts of those responsible for implementing programs and structured activities that promote health, hope, and happiness. One of their notable initiatives is the Give Hope USA program, launched in 2010. This program provides temporary relief and wellness aid to economically disadvantaged and health-stressed families and individuals through local servicing nonprofit agencies and schools. The wellness-medical aid packs distributed under this program contain various products, including food supplements, personal hygiene products, and over-the-counter medicines. They also include literature about maintaining a healthy diet, information about humanitarian assistance centers, and other basic needs information.

Charity Works Inc tailors these pack and kit distributions based on the needs of their nonprofit clients. During the holiday season, the program began distributing cash and special gifts such as clothes, toys, and other basic necessities. This initiative was previously part of their Holiday Gift Giving Fund, established in 2007 to encourage people to give during the holiday season, leverage charitable gifts for underprivileged children, strengthen relationships between local retailers and children's charities, and promote volunteering during the holiday season. In 2021, 17 nonprofit entities received a total value of 285,914 in various distributions of free personal hygiene products, comfort gifts, and cash. These distributions included dental kits, daily necessities, school supplies, KN95 masks, lighting equipment, and other special request gifts.

By encouraging manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to participate in in-kind donations, product placement, branding, and other social and marketing considerations, Charity Works Inc aims to expand the Give Hope USA program. This approach not only benefits the recipients but also provides opportunities for the participating organizations to engage in corporate social responsibility initiatives. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Charity Works Inc volunteers distributed facial masks (KN95) to benefit 3,000 recipients. During the Christmas holiday, they held a 12-day community outreach event in Clearwater, Florida, supporting the community by providing hope and inspiration through gift giving and fun activities. Program volunteers assisted 750 recipients in the distribution of comfort gifts, including plush toys, flannel pillows, and meal cards.
