The VisionHelping Those in Need While
Reducing Landfill Waste
Nobody feels good about loading up our landfills with perfectly usable products. But that’s what businesses find themselves doing day in, day out - because what’s usable may not be sellable.
Customer returns, shop-worn packages, and last season’s odds-and-ends can all end up in the trash in order to make room for this season’s sellers. There ought to be a better way.
iHave iNeed was created to be that better way. We understand the key to turning business discards into useful donations is to provide a friction-free process that enables it to happen. We seamlessly collect these unsellable items from local outlets on a weekly or as-needed basis. Now, instead of becoming trash, these products become treasures - provided to local service organizations like animal rescues, homeless shelters, food banks, and others where they will be put to good use.

By redistributing products that companies can’t sell to people and organizations who need them, we’re working to turn garbage into good. And we can all feel good about that.

Our team meets with local businesses to review our mission and gain their support. Then we use technology to support a process where goods are collected, retrieved, and stored. Our secret?
