Reasons for your business to get involved:

• Since 2003, Impact Thrift has donated over $1.6 million to area charities. What business wouldn’t want to say “we helped to financially support local charities” without touching its checkbook.
• Impact Thrift creates jobs in the community; over 100 people are currently employed by Impact Thrift.
• Impact is a GREEN business. We recycle and repurpose gently-used donated items and get them into the hands of those who can still use them. Over 283,000 customers were served in 2010.
• You will have a positive impact on your employees when you encourage and assist them in helping others.
• 100% of our inventory has been donated by the local community. Impact Thrift has generated goodwill and support from the local community (which surely includes some of your customer base and/or some of your employees!).
• It is good for your public image: Impact will acknowledge the partnership in our monthly newsletters to over 3,000 subscribers.

Ways for your business to get involved:

• Set up an employee volunteer day at Impact Thrift. It’s a great way for your employees to feel a part of helping their community.
• Have a company collection drive. We will send an Impact Thrift truck to your location, free of charge, to pick up the donations. What could be simpler?
• Include Impact Thrift information in your company newsletter. Impact Thrift offers free pick up and a tax receipt for all donations; useful information for all your employees to have.
• If you have a company giving plan, consider adding Impact Thrift Stores as a charitable option for your employees to choose as a charity to financially support. Supporting local charities just makes sense!
• Remodeling the office? Donate the gently-used items you’re replacing and repurpose them. GO GREEN! Call us. We make it easy!
• Do you have a warehouse or storage facility full of sellable inventory? Don’t continue paying rent. Donate those items to Impact Thrift. Impact Thrift has free pick up and your donations are tax-deductible.
• Add a link to the Impact Thrift website onto your company’s resource page.
