Three Ways to Drive Change

Pick the drive that fits your community.

You don't need to be a fundraising expert. Whether you collect goods, raise funds, or simply spread the word — every drive directly funds our programs through our promise-to-pay model.

Goods Drive

Physical Item Drive

Collect gently used items from your community. Every piece sold in our thrift store funds a therapy session.

  • Clothing & shoes
  • Books & media
  • Furniture & home goods
  • Toys & children's items
  • Electronics & accessories
Fundraiser Drive

Monetary Fundraiser

Raise funds through events, workplace programs, or online campaigns. All proceeds go directly to our Mental Wellness Fund.

  • Bake sales & community events
  • Workplace giving programs
  • School & youth fundraisers
  • Online & social fundraisers
  • Employer match programs
Awareness Drive

Social Media Drive

No money or items needed — just your voice. Share our mission and help us reach the people who need us most.

  • Share our story on social media
  • Tag three people who care
  • Post about mental health access
  • Use #PurchaseForPurpose
  • Forward our newsletter

How It Works

Five simple steps to run your drive.

We make it as easy as possible. Register, collect, deliver, and get recognized — we support you every step of the way.

1

Register Your Drive

Reach out to us directly to register. We'll support you with materials, promote your drive on our channels, and send you a personal thank-you from the founders.

2

Receive Your Free Toolkit

Once registered, we send you a printable flyer, social media post templates, a drop-off collection sign, and a donation tracker — everything you need to launch.

3

Set a Goal & Timeline

Two to four weeks works best. Set a specific, visible target — like "50 bags of clothing" or "$300 raised" — so your community knows exactly what they're working toward.

4

Collect & Deliver

We coordinate pickup or drop-off so it's effortless for you. Goods go directly to our thrift store inventory. Monetary drives are transferred to the Mental Wellness Fund.

5

Get Recognized & Celebrated

Every drive host receives a personal thank-you from the founders, recognition on our website, a certificate of appreciation, and an impact report showing what your drive funded.

"Every bag donated is one step closer to a therapy session for someone who desperately needs it. Your drive doesn't just collect items — it collects hope."

— The Founders, Purchase For Purpose
