Blessing Our Neighbors Initiative
CHAR & CO’s. Blessing Our Neighbors Initiative blesses people in our communities through our clients’ generous donations of clothing and household goods. Your discarded items are someone else’s treasure, as they provide valuable resources to those who need them most.
According to statista.com, in 2023 12% of Missouri’s population lived below the poverty line, and 16% of children in Missouri are living in poverty. Efforts to reduce poverty in MO., include promoting economic development and providing better access to social services, are led by our local non-profit organizations in the metro area.
Our chosen charitable partners provide goods, resources, and educational programs that support economic independence and personal empowerment, for those experiencing material, social and emotional hardships.
Thank you to our clients for your generous donations, the CHAR & CO. team, for delivering these treasures to our non-profit partners, and to our charitable partners that contribute to the common good of our neighbors. It’s a Win, Win, Win for all!
