Auto Parts Help During Disaster?

We have recently partnered with a disaster relief organization that stages supplies and manpower whenever a disaster strikes in the USA or worldwide. This organization has recently received a large auto parts inventory that we are currently liquidating on behalf of the charity.

Whether it is hurricane Gustov or Ike or the tornado in Greensburg, these faith-based organizations are extremely important during disasters. Where there are enormous needs, these organizations are filling in the gap where the government organizations can’t.

When a disaster strikes, corporations offer large quantities of “In Kind” donations like water, blankets, shoes, and food. Sometimes donations are offered that are not helpful for the relief effort but are still valuable. In the past, these organizations turn down these donations but this where iDonate.com comes in. These in- kind donations can be sold for cash providing funds for expense of mobilizing the volunteers and supplies.
There is always a great call during these disasters is for cash donations not only for the victims but also for the organizations that are serving them. Liquidating qualified donations makes a lot of sense, not only for businesses that have overstocks but for the relief organizations themselves.

One of the great values iDonate.com brings to organization is “Creativity!” As we continually learn new ideas for receiving and liquidating noncash donations, we are able to pass that expertise on to other ministries in their fund-raising efforts.
