Billions in goods sit unused. Michigan families go without. Not anymore.
Storehouse connects surplus goods from businesses with the nonprofits and schools that need them most — at a fraction of retail cost. Every dollar invested returns up to $100 in goods distributed.
The Problem We Solve
A nonprofit called us once. They had a child who desperately needed shoes. We had a warehouse full of shoes. There was no system to connect the two.
That's why Storehouse exists.
—HOW IT WORKS
Connecting surplus goods to community needs.
Businesses have new products to give. Nonprofits and schools know what their communities need. Storehouse connects the two—making donated goods accessible and affordable.
01
Businesses donate new products
Businesses donate brand-new overstock, discontinued inventory, and liquidation products. Storehouse receives and stores these bulk donations.
We saw organizations overwhelmed by donated products they couldn’t fully use, while still lacking essentials their communities needed.
Storehouse is the connection. We receive, organize, and warehouse brand-new surplus goods so nonprofits and schools can choose what they need, when they need it.
02
Storehouse makes products accessible
At our Grand Rapids warehouse, we sort and stock products so nonprofits and schools can find what their communities need. We track distribution to help donors understand the reach of their giving.
03
Nonprofits and schools put resources to work
Approved members select products to support the people and communities they serve, at an average of approximately 4% of retail value. Their budgets stretch further, freeing funding for essential services.
