About CAPITAL CARES

Distributing goods to those in need.

What is Capital Cares?

Capital Cares is a non-profit organization which exists to serve organizations and people by helping to create a world where everyone is seen as an irreplaceable individual with immeasurable value.

How it works

Goods Donated

Every month, Capital Cares receives truckloads of goods that are generously donated by a national retailer. These goods are then sorted and stored in the Capital Cares warehouse.

Partners

Because donated goods range from diapers to furniture, our partners receive a list of available items that fit in-line with their organization. 

Distribution

Through our partner organizations that align with the Capital Cares mission, these goods are then distributed to those in need.

Capital Cares is a not-for-profit organization that may qualify for employer matching gifts! If your employer offers this benefit, please consider applying for a matching gift to double your impact.
