About Us
"The companies that donate rather than destroy their usable items and the volunteers who help the Redistribution Center distribute those items to the needy are truly a blessing. We aren’t just providing help to one particular type of individual or organization. We are a link in a chain of giving and contribution that is much bigger than our one organization—we are helping others help the world"

Contributions We've Made
The Redistribution Center accepts donations of any type of item and finds non-profit organizations and needy individuals that can make use of those donations. Some of the many ways in which the Redistribution Center has supported other non-profits and individuals include:
- Provided snacks, drinks, work gloves and boots to volunteers cleaning up after the September 11 World Trade Center disaster.
- Coordinated the Notes of Hope campaign to provide hundreds of hand-made cards from students to recovery workers in New York City after September 11. (Ranya and her volunteers received a personal letter from President Bush to thank the Center for these efforts.)
- Donated furniture, construction supplies, and other household items to the makeover of three deserving soldiers’ homes as part of the A&E show "At Home With the Brave."
- Provided over $700,000 worth of foods, coats, and toys to the families of soldiers who were in need while the soldier was on active duty overseas.
- Refurbished and donated bicycles to children on Navajo reservations.

- Donated over 600,000 pairs of shoes to a variety of homeless shelters.
- Provide 6 tons of food per year to the Jewish Family Services of Denver food bank.
