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
Surplus in.
Communities thrive.
Businesses have surplus goods to give. Nonprofits and schools need affordable resources. But a donation only helps when it matches a need.
01
Businesses donate surplus goods
Brand-new overstock, discontinued inventory, and liquidation products are received in bulk, documented, and warehoused at no cost to the donor.
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 sorts, stocks, and manages inventory.
At our 30,000-square-foot facility in Grand Rapids, we turn bulk donations into organized, accessible resources. Nonprofits and schools can select products that fit their programs without taking on more than they can use or store.
Our warehouse system documents how goods are distributed, helping donors understand the types of organizations and communities benefiting from their generosity.
03
Member organizations choose what their communities need.
Vetted nonprofits and schools shop at approximately 4% of retail cost, choosing goods they can put to use. Their budgets stretch further, freeing more funding for the people and programs they serve.
