Good360 is helping aid workers on the ground in Liberia and Western Africa provide relief for Ebola victims and help fight the spread of the virus. Good360 is calling on the worldwide business community to provide medical and cleaning supplies, comfort kits and other urgent needs — listed at http://blog.good360.org/ebola — to respond to this crisis.
“We’ve received requests from aid workers on the ground who are scrambling to save the lives of the sick and dying Ebola victims and to comfort children, families and communities suffering in Western Africa,” said Carly Fiorina, board chair, Good360 and former Chairman and CEO of HP. “Now is the time for business leaders everywhere to take a stand and make a decision to help stem the tide of this massive outbreak before it spreads around the world. Good360 is uniquely positioned to provide the products that are urgently needed in Western Africa and unavailable anywhere else.”
About Good360
Good360 is an international nonprofit that works with companies, charities and individuals to make the business of giving simpler, more efficient and more effective. The Alexandria, Va.-based organization was created in 1983 to help companies efficiently donate slow-moving, obsolete and seasonal inventory to charitable organizations. These donated products – including new, nonperishable goods such as apparel, books, toys, personal care products, office and school supplies, computers and much more – are distributed to Good360’s pre-vetted nonprofit network encompassing about 40,000 organizations. Today, Good360 is changing the face of philanthropy by creating a Circle of Good that allows companies, nonprofits and individuals to work together to do more social good together. The organization is accomplishing this through its technology initiatives, including the organization’s GivingPlace technology platform and the launch of its Disaster Recovery360 platform (planned for 2015). Good360 has been recognized by the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, Verizon’s Powerful Answers Awards and Forbes for its excellence, innovation and efficiency, respectively, in helping all of its partners do good, better.
