Small businesses, large impact.

March 28, 2021

1,525 items donated to those in need.

On March 28, 2021, we partnered with Asian Box, LifeMoves, and Abode Services to provide 100 hot meals, toiletry kits, and COVID-19 essentials to shelters and those in need across the San Fransisco Bay Area.Through this, we supported both a business and individuals struggling due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Due to interesting tax return-based eligibility rules, I received COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments throughout 2020. I knew these payments were not meant for me, a 16-year old kid, so I started researching organizations to which I could donate the funds.

Instead of donating the last of the EIC payments, I decided to find local partners and distribute these funds in a more hands-on, active, and engaged approach.After researching useful items and contacting professionals involved with organizations such as Housing and Urban Development (HUD, U.S. Government) and LifeMoves, we created a donation kit including a fresh, warm meal, a bottle of water, and 13 personal care/hygeine items.

We want to do it again.

In 2023.

Turns out, we had a lot of people rallying behind us. We made local news and have been invited by networks across the Bay Area to revisit their program.

Julian Street Inn in San Jose – one of the communities we are proud to have a small part in aiding.

While sparked by both coincidence and need in trying times for the entire world, this project isn't seasonal, and we want to continue to personally impact as many people in need as we can.

As we continue to grow, we hope to raise awareness in neighboring communities as well as maintain our on-the-ground, active nature of donating. This isn't just a 2021 project - this is a program we hope to continue to run far into the future. We've already distributed thousands of items to help those in need - and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.Support us with a donation, big or small, and be a part of our next adventure. We couldn't be more appreciative of your support – whether you're donating or cheering us on from your local community – and we can't wait to show you what's to come.
