September 18
6AM PT / 9AM ET / 1PM UTC

Join Distribute Aid for a 90-minute hands-on introduction to sourcing in-kind donations for your programs. Whether you're just starting to think about aid sourcing or looking to sharpen your outreach, this session walks through the full process: assessing what you need, building an outreach list, crafting a pitch that resonates with donors, and knowing when to say yes (or no) to an offer.

Having these supplies pre-positioned meant they could reach affected communities in days instead of weeks. Storing aid around the country also means donations can be accepted whenever they’re available, and leftover items are ready to be used for the next disaster rather than going to waste.

The image has text on the left that reads: "Moria refugee camp, which was built to house around 3,000 people, had ballooned to a population of 15,000. Its conditions seemed unbearable—so we were struck by the dignity, creativity, and determination of the people we worked with there.

They shouldn’t have had to be so strong. The fact that they were doesn’t make the story of Moria less tragic, or galling. But if people who experienced such suffering could still fight to live full lives, what excuse do we have for not helping in any way we can?".
