About SupplyBank.org
Mission Statement
SupplyBank.org works through trusted local partnerships to strengthen the social safety net and deliver essential supplies to children and families in need.
Vision
All people have the essential supplies they need.
Background
SupplyBank.org centralizes procurement and in-kind donations to provide upwards of $3 worth of necessities for every $1 invested. In the few years prior to the Pandemic, the organization provided more than $60 million worth of materials including diapers, hygiene supplies, school supplies, and other essentials to hundreds of thousands of low-income children and families throughout California. Our largest programmatic footprint remains in the Bay Area but with significant growth in all 58 counties.
By distributing materials through a statewide network of partnering agencies that provide additional resources supporting pathways out of poverty, we aim to both alleviate the immediate symptoms of poverty, while incentivizing families to participate in programs that provide pathways towards self-sufficiency. Leveraging existing investments into the safety net enables SupplyBank.org to distribute critical materials through an existing and trusted infrastructure with a leg-up approach (no line) while minimizing our operational costs.
