MAKING CHANGE IS A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES HUNGER RELIEF, HUMAN DIGNITY, WELLNESS, AND SELF-SUFFICIENT COMMUNITIES. WE DO THIS BY ENABLING OUR RETAIL PARTNERS TO SOLICIT DONATIONS FROM THEIR SHOPPERS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT OF NON-PROFIT AGENCIES (FULLY VETTED BY MAKING CHANGE AS A LEGITIMATE 501(C)(3) PRIOR TO DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDING) WHOSE MISSIONS ARE TO PROMOTE SELF-SUFFICIENCY WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES OUR RETAIL PARTNERS SERVE. WE FACILITATE THE COLLECTION OF THESE DONATIONS VIA THE DEVELOPMENT OF IN-STORE POINT-OF-PURCHASE MATERIALS (LOCATED AT THE CHECK STAND) THAT ALLOWS SHOPPERS (THE DONORS) TO CONTRIBUTE FUNDS AS THEY COMPLETE THEIR IN-STORE PURCHASES.
