You should know exactly what your gift buys
No vague promises. A gift buys supplies, and the cost of getting them into a partner's hands.
- Kit contentsHygiene items, school supplies, emergency basics and infant care, bought to match what partners request.
- Packing and deliverySupplies, bags, labels and the cost of getting finished kits to the organizations handing them out.
- Nothing elseNo cash grants, no resale, and no charge to the person who opens the kit.
ImpactKits does not give cash directly to individuals or families. Gifts become supplies and the cost of moving them. Donations are received and processed by The Hack Foundation, then allocated to ImpactKits.
Small things. Huge difference.
It is easy to underestimate a small gift. The people who receive it never do.
A pair of socks
A fresh start for someone who has been on their feet all day.
A hygiene set
The dignity of feeling clean and ready to face the day.
A full kit
Comfort, care and proof that someone out there is thinking of them.
