#393 Great.com Talks With... Good360
Delivering highly needed goods to communities impacted by natural disasters is essential for maximum impact. These goods not only help support people in times of need, but they help transform lives. Fortunately, these goods are available. What's left is for someone to deliver them to the people who need them the most. That's why in today's episode, we talked with Jim Alvey, Vice President of Disaster Recovery and Philantrophy at Good360.
Good360 is a nonprofit organization that has partners all across the United States. Its mission is to source highly needed goods and deliver them to affected communities. Jim calls this "Product Philanthropy." The core concept of product philanthropy is to move and distribute donated goods from companies. In addition, they assist nonprofit partners in providing hope to communities affected by natural disasters or other challenging life circumstances. The support is essential for the community to get back on its feet.
Doing Good is Good for Business
Good360 works on short-term and long-term disaster recovery. They also work outside the US, most notably in Ukraine. In addition, they work with diverse nonprofits from many sectors to source goods from socially responsible companies. Product Philanthropy is the organisation's mission, and they help build resilient communities by being a global leader.
