Welcome to Grassroot Givers

Mission:

Grassroot Givers strengthens our community by making the connection between those in need of specific supplies and material goods and those who have resources to share. Grassroot Givers supports individual families and over 50 programs run by nonprofit organizations in the Capital Region of Albany, NY.

Sharing Donations:

Grassroot Givers works collaboratively with social workers, clergy, teachers, and directors of nonprofits, to identify specific supplies, material goods and volunteer support needed in our community. We then make a connection with those who have resources to share and deliver the donations directly to those in need.

Giving is Green

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

We support environmental sustainability by recycling and reusing material resources, (blankets, sheets, toasters, bikes, like-new clothing, back packs) and supplies (paint, paper, pencils, craft supplies, pens)

Grassroot Givers is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization committed to making a direct link between the needs in our community and those who have resources to share.


Donations to Share
