Giving the Basics FW from TMA on Vimeo.

Giving the Basics is a registered 501C3 charitable organization dedicated to assuring that basic human dignity products are available to everyone when they need them. Toilet paper, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, soap and shampoo are a few of the products that many of us take for granted. These products are not covered by government assistance, so sadly, many people often go without. Giving the Basics decided that everyone deserved basic human dignity products.

At Giving the Basics, we know where the needs are greatest and we allow our donors to choose what products and what quantities they want to donate. We then deliver these products, quickly and effectively, sending them to food pantries, shelters, churches, synagogues and other charitable organizations of need.
