FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Innovative Web Solution Bridges the Gap Between Donor and Homeless Shelter (Newbury Park, CA) October 27, 2010 — With a few mouse-clicks, donors to the Pennsylvania-based Allentown Rescue Mission can now directly purchase and drop-ship the supplies the Mission needs the most, courtesy of Minimus.biz, the leader in all things travel-sized and individual-sized. The new Minimus.biz Nonprofit Partners program is a pretty simple process: First, Minimus.biz created a landing page for the Mission, located at www.minimus.biz/allentown. With direction from the Mission, Minimus.biz populated that page with the items that the Mission needs the most. Donors to the Mission can purchase these supplies right from the landing page at special nonprofit wholesale pricing. Minimus.biz consolidates the orders for the Mission into regular freight shipments to the Mission in order to offer the most cost-effective shipping solution. Shipments to the Mission include all of the packing slips from the donors' orders, providing the Mission with a record of its supporters. In creating its initial list of needs, the Mission was able to select from the over 2000 travel-sized and individual serving-sized items that Minimus.biz carries in its warehouses. The Mission is able to regularly update its list as its needs change by contacting its dedicated support representative at Minimus.biz. Minimus.biz Co-Founder Paul Shrater hopes to support other nonprofit organizations through the new program. He stated, "We have been a great resource for community outreach and disaster relief aid groups that need to source inexpensive bulk travel-sized toiletries and other supplies. Now, in addition to nonprofits using their cash contributions to purchase their needed supplies from us, they now have a new channel to offer donors through which they can directly provide these supplies, which also effectively bridges the gap for giving for more potential donors who prefer providing actual goods, versus cash contributions." Allentown Rescue Mission Executive Director Gary Millspaugh stated, "The Minimus.biz Nonprofit Partners program provides Mission supporters with a quick and easy way to order and ship to us the very supplies we need. It also provides us with a greatly expedited process of receiving goods, improving the efficiency of our on-the-ground efforts." To view and purchase from a shopping list of current items for which the Mission has an immediate need, please go to www.minimus.biz/allentown.
