How it all started...

While my husband attended the BYU MBA program and we had just had our little boy, we needed support. We found that through BYU's MBASA program that had several events each year, where people could come get gently used clothing and family essentials for free. A year after graduation and once the pandemic hit, I realized how many families this could help within our own community of Tooele County, Utah. I was reading some verses in the Bible and came across John 1:16... "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace." I instantly knew that I needed to start this, and I needed to start it now. We have been a community project with our whole county rallying being us for the last few years, and now have grown so much that we need to become a 501.c.3!

We hope to continue to help as many families in the community as possible by providing used but good quality family essentials (clothing, toys, cribs, etc) for free that people donate. Those that donate get to come by earlier than the general public to see if they need anything (called VIP hour on fliers) and then it opens to the general public to come and get what they need. We partner with other community organizations to get all the extra items given away. So it’s kind of like a twice a year communal trading post, giving items for free that you don’t need anymore and seeing if there is anything you need for free as well, all while keeping items out of the landfill that still have lots of life in them!

please help us reach our goal so we can become a licensed 501.c.3

What the money goes towards:

Fees to file paperwork, business license, etc.
1 hour of payment to a nonprofit consultant to make sure we have everything accurate before sending in paperwork

Update 1: WOW!! We were not expecting to hit our goal so quickly! Because of that and several people asking if they can still donate, we have decided to increase our goal to be able to get 2 more hours of nonprofit consultant time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
