See what Cintas donated to Khadarlis in 1 Week!

A few weeks ago we wrote a little about the value Cintas brings to school children and workers who need uniforms in our community.

Well, we didn't have pictures to show you the kind work donations Cintas generously trusts Khadarlis to gives to people who really need it.

So this week we've brought you some pictures to go with it (with a little bit of nudging from a few volunteers).

What you're seeing is a pretty good size donation of work jackets, pants and more:

If you have children who may need uniforms next year, or you're a worker who needs a decent work uniform, please contact Khadarlis.

We just might have what you're looking for, and even if we don't we'll do our best to save it for you!

Khadarlis' Community Outreach Center Has some New Rules!

Rules are always in place for a reason, and we at Khadarlis really believe in this.

We have a lot of agreements with or Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot and other partners to make sure all of our donations go into the right hands.

But we don't need contracts to tell us that we're here to, "Serve the need not the greedy" as we say in our office.

We've taken some new measures to give us everything we need to enforce our contracts. We have a new policy for our Donation Program, cameras, and even a few signs to tell our clients they need a voucher!

But, we thought it would help to know EXACTLY how many items a client or family could get when they come to Khadarlis:

Take a sneak peak into Khadarlis' Donation center!

Khadarlis is on YouTube!

So what better way to show you the all new way we've organized our donation room than through a video?

This video was shot by a few of Khadarlis' volunteers and a single cell phone! We aren't video experts yet, but we promise to have more content coming soon!

If you like the way we've set up our donation room, it's the product of over 10 hours of work from all of our hard working volunteers!

One last thing! 

If you're a Rhode Islander who saw this video and wants to know if you or your family qualifies to receive all of these donation we give away (for free!) talk to your local CAP office or visit our website to learn more about our program!

Which businesses are growing the fastest in the US?

What do you imagine when you hear growth?

Do you think about height? Age? Or something as simple as a house plant. Try focusing on economic growth? How about economic growth?

Yes, you've heard our economy is slowly getting better. But..did you know one kind of business is growing faster than others?

Actually, its growth has been higher for over a decade! So do you think you know what kind of business we're talking about? Take a quick guess before you keep reading!

A Surprising Statistic

A few weeks a go, a surprising statistic came out of the  Urban Institute. 

The  2001-2011, nonprofits businesses had a 25% growth. This was actually higher than that of for profit businesses. How much higher? Well, for profit businesses only had growth of .5%.

Let's be fair, only about 10% of the workforce was employed by nonprofits in the year 2010. BUT..a majority of those people were tax exempt charities that have a variety of missions. They are serving the needs of many people in the US.

So what's all this growth mean then?

The Real Impact

The New York Times commented on the report, believing this growth has to do with:

• People are in need of healthcare assistance
• Greater Demand for Relief
• Growth of Family Foundations

Simply put, people are in need of assistance whether economic or otherwise. At the same time private foundations have been investing a lot of money to help organizations serve their communities.

All of these things points to what Khadarlis has always tried to do: Serve all the local communities of Rhode Island. We've donated thousands of dollars worth of services to people who need it the most: fire victims and the impoverished.

A lot of Work Ahead

With foundations donating to organizations, and with organizations doing good work, shouldn't a lot of good be happening?

Yes!

A lot of great organizations are doing their part to help people get through difficult times. At the same time, we can't forget that that Rhode Island still has the highest unemployment rate.

We at Khadarlis pledge to give more and grow faster to meet the challenge of helping local families. We'll have a lot of new things happening for the rest of 2014.

It's going to be great!
