My Nonprofit Reviews

This organization is incredible! When I heard about them I thought "Cool, I'll volunteer a few hours with them." When I got there and heard the touching story about how it was founded and the incredible difference they make in the lives of so many people in an area that is excluded by public assistance and food banks - personal hygiene products - I was blown away and invested. I suggested that the company that I work for adopt them as one of the collection drives that they do each year to assist and give back to our Kansas City community. In 2016 DST Systems had one of the largest collections drives for Giving The Basics in their history up to that point. We are in the middle of our 2nd collection drive for them currently. This is an organization that runs on almost 100% donations in every area. Above are some photos of a small group of DST employees sorting the huge amount of donated items in their warehouse in 2016 (902 toothbrushes, 850 shampoo & conditioner, 670 toothpaste, 1200 razors, and much more not pictured).
