Get Involved in the Basic Needs Program
At JackBuh Foundation, we believe that meeting the most fundamental needs—such as food, shelter, clothing, and hygiene—lays the foundation for individuals and families to thrive. Our Basic Needs Program focuses on providing essential supplies to vulnerable communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where many face severe challenges in meeting their daily needs. Here's how you can help make a tangible difference:
Donate Basic Necessities
We are in constant need of donations to provide the essentials for families in Congo. Your donations can directly improve the quality of life for those in desperate need. Here’s what we accept:
- Clothing (Gently used or new clothes for all ages, shoes, blankets)
- Hygiene Products (Soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary pads, diapers)
- Bedding (Sheets, blankets, pillows, towels)
- Household Essentials (Cooking utensils, small appliances, bedding, etc.)
- Non-perishable Food Items (Canned foods, rice, beans, lentils, pasta)
Whether it's clothes in good condition or hygiene products you no longer need, your donation will help those who have limited access to these life-sustaining items.
Make a Monetary Donation
Your financial contributions enable us to purchase and distribute essential items to families in need. You can:
- Give Once: Make a one-time donation to help provide immediate relief to families.
- Become a Monthly Donor: Set up recurring donations to ensure consistent support for ongoing initiatives.
- Sponsor a Family: With a donation of $250, you can provide a family in Congo with a full set of basic necessities for a month, including food, clothing, and hygiene products.
Volunteer Your Time
We need volunteers to assist in various aspects of our Basic Needs Program. Volunteer opportunities include:
- Sorting and Packaging Donations: Help organize and prepare donated items for shipment to Congo. This may include sorting clothes, packing food kits, and preparing hygiene supply bundles.
- Community Outreach and Fundraising: Volunteer to help organize community events, such as food drives, clothing collections, or awareness campaigns about the need for basic necessities.
- Awareness and Advocacy: Spread the word about the needs in Congo and encourage others to donate or get involved through social media, newsletters, or at local events.
Corporate Sponsorship and In-Kind Donations
Corporations can play a major role in supporting the Basic Needs Program. Here’s how businesses can help:
- In-Kind Donations: Donate surplus items such as clothing, hygiene products, food supplies, or household goods that align with our needs.
- Corporate Sponsorship: Sponsor a distribution initiative, providing financial or logistical support to deliver essential supplies to families.
- Employee Engagement: Encourage employees to volunteer their time or donate goods to the program. Many companies also offer matching donation programs to amplify the impact of individual contributions.
Raise Awareness and Share
Even if you're unable to donate items or funds, you can still make a big impact by spreading the word:
- Share updates and calls to action on your social media channels to encourage your network to get involved. Whether it's a fundraising campaign or an urgent need for basic supplies, your post can help generate action.
- Host a collection drive at your workplace, school, or community center. Collect clothing, hygiene products, or non-perishable food items to donate to those in need.
