One of the most prevalent symptoms of poverty is a lack of access to basic material needs that are necessary for maintaining good physical and mental health, academic achievement, basic dignity and comfort. These needs can range from diapers for the baby of a mother on CalWORKS (welfare) to school and hygiene supplies for a homeless student. Statewide, the problem is constant and requires a collaborative and systematic response. Our goal is to help serve undeserved communities with the basic necessities that they require.
Modeling the approach of food banks, SupplyBank.Org is a nonprofit public benefit corporation building a statewide supply bank to provide basic materials to disadvantaged children and families.
