Partner organizations

We build with organizations, not for them.

Every product we make came out of a conversation with the people who would use it. These are the organizations we work with, and what we have actually delivered to each.

Where we have delivered

  • Boxes donated — one dot each(2,000)
  • Distribution sites(53)
  • Partner sites

Box and site dots are neighborhood-level and representative — deliveries reach homes across all five boroughs and beyond, into New Jersey and Long Island, and we don't publish home addresses. Named partner pins link to their pages.

In the works

Partnerships with real planning behind them and no delivered event yet. We list them separately because describing a plan as an accomplishment is how numbers stop being trustworthy.
