Vision:
To connect resources for at-risk populations through nonprofits, businesses, and schools; to empower people NOT enable them.
What We Do:
We procure national and local, BRAND NEW product donations, to be redistributed to local nonprofits and low income schools. See our non profit members list and our school members list.
How We Operate:
Our convenient location, large warehouse, and loading dock, make it easy to receive and distribute donated products. These products are then offered through two onsite programs- StoreHouse for Nonprofits and StoreHouse for Schools.
People
We support nonprofits who help determined PEOPLE live sustainably.
Our volunteers are PEOPLE who utilize their unique gifts to further support our operations.
Products
Household (anything that belongs inside or outside the home), Recreation (any item used in recreation), Appliances, Furniture, Office, Personal Care, Cleaning. Basically we offer any product except food.
Purpose
To create a centralized and systematic approach to share donations that impact local communities in West Michigan. Helping nonprofits maximize support to their clients, while keeping their costs low. Maximize company donations by distributing goods to hundreds of organizations and schools.
Why Choose Us:

Our Sponsors
The StoreHouse sponsors are the foundation of who we are and enable us to make a lasting impact on individuals and families throughout West Michigan. Our sponsors support us through their own partnerships with organizations who have household and non-food products to donate. And, they provide additional support through considerable monetary or product donations of their own.
Here are some of our sponsors and how they help The StoreHouse help others.
