Hallmarks-Salvation Army-HOPe Africa Monthly Donation Pickup and Redistribution to Communities.
Hallmark makes product donations through some 150 existing non-profit partnerships rather than responding to individual requests. Here's how and why. They give primarily to non-profit organizations that can sort and store large wholesale quantities - representing millions of dollars in wholesale value -- then redistribute them to other non-profit groups to make available to those in need. For example, in Kansas City, they give cartons of unsold products to the local Salvation Army. Volunteers unpack and organize the products in their warehouse, and once a month invite other area agencies to select items that can be useful to the people they serve. The VFW Foundation and other organizations serving all branches of the military receive surplus products to redistribute as well.
