Project Kindness Support
Sometimes (especially for non-profit organizations) we end up struggling to pay the expenses
associated with running a charity such as Acts of Kindness. Expenses such as utilities, insurance,
snow removal/lawn care and maintaining the building (last year we had to get our roof replaced
because it was starting to leak in the rain).
Unfortunately we do not get enough regular financial donations to support Acts of Kindness and
our staff can only do so many fundraisers. We have found that we must do something to be able
to continue our mission of helping our community, so we started Project Kindness Support.
What is Project Kindness Support? Sometimes we get donations of items that aren't necessities
and/or cannot benefit the people we try to help and so we might occasionally sell those items to
continue our mission. We are a small building trying to do a big job, your continued support
means a lot to us.
Here are the restrictions we use to determine what can and cannot be sold:
1. The item cannot be something that is commonly requested by recipients.
2. The item either needs to have been at the A-OK building for three months or we must be
given permission by the donor of said item for us to sell it.
3. The funds raised this way will ONLY ever be used towards the following: utilities, insurance,
snow removal/lawn care, and maintaining the building.
Please note that this does not change our non-profit status and we are by no means attempting
to make money off of donations of items, sometimes it's just more helpful to keep the building
running than to keep a set of encyclopedias at our building.
We thank you for understanding.
If you have any questions you can contact us at 608-728-0841.
