Bringing Wishes to Life

Joseph says the wish-list program was inspired by his desire to create a donation process that is tangible and accountable.

“The organizations get the kinds of products that they really want rather than just a bunch of stuff dropped off to them. And then on the other side, the patrons like this because now, rather than saying, ‘I sent $100 to my favorite organization,’ they can say, ‘I sent them a case of socks.’ So they can actually put their hand around what they gave and they know that the money went to something that was tangible,” Joseph says.
