WAYS TO ORGANIZE A DRIVE
Turn Your Group Into a Giving Hub
A collection drive is one of the easiest ways to mobilize a workplace, school, church, neighborhood, club, or organization around a practical community need. JenAchu Foundation can help with campaign focus, priority items, collection guidance, messaging, promotional materials, and coordination and distribution planning.
Host a Drive
Your drive could collect school supplies, children's clothing, books, hygiene products, baby items, winter clothing, household essentials, holiday gifts, or supplies for an Africa program.
Host a DriveCorporate Giving
Businesses can engage employees, customers, and partners through workplace collection boxes, employee donation drives, company-sponsored campaigns, team volunteer days, and matching-gift initiatives.
Start a Corporate DriveSchool, Church and Community Drives
Schools, churches, civic groups, and neighborhoods can mobilize entire networks with student-led supply drives, clothing drives, book collections, youth service projects, and holiday collections.

GIVE WITH DIGNITY
A Simple Standard
Would I feel comfortable giving this directly to someone I care about?
If the answer is yes, it is more likely to be appropriate for donation. We want every person receiving support to feel respected: clean clothing, safe products, useful supplies, and thoughtful giving. Dignity should be part of every donation.
Ready to Give?
A useful item does not have to stop creating value simply because you no longer need it. Donate goods, host a drive, engage your workplace, mobilize your church or school, or volunteer your time. Together, we can help useful resources reach the people who need them.
