Billions in goods sit unused. Michigan families go without. Not anymore.
Storehouse connects surplus goods from businesses with the nonprofits and schools that need them most — at a fraction of retail cost. Every dollar invested returns up to $100 in goods distributed.
The Problem We Solve
A nonprofit called us once. They had a child who desperately needed shoes. We had a warehouse full of shoes. There was no system to connect the two.
That's why Storehouse exists.
—HOW IT WORKS
Surplus in.
Communities thrive.
Businesses produce surplus they can't sell and can't easily donate. Nonprofits and schools need goods they can't afford. The two groups almost never connect directly.
01
Businesses donate surplus goods
Brand-new overstock, discontinued inventory, and liquidation product — received in bulk, documented, and warehoused at no cost to the donor.
Storehouse is the connection. We receive brand-new surplus goods from businesses and manufacturers, warehouse them at our 30,000 sq ft facility in Grand Rapids, and redistribute them to vetted nonprofits and schools at approximately 4% of retail cost.
02
Storehouse sorts, stocks, and manages inventory.
90% of inventory barcoded and traceable from supplier to member. Funders provide the operational dollars that keep the warehouse running.
Every dollar that flows through Storehouse moves further than it would anywhere else — because the goods are already there. Your job is to fund the system that moves them.
03
Member organizations access what their communities need.
Member organizations shop at ~4% of retail. Every dollar they don't spend on goods goes back into their programs.
