Joseph's Storehouse has been serving the needy of
DeKalb and Greater Atlanta for decades.
We are now partnering with them to further expand their reach.
Please contact Joseph's Storehouse at the link below.
In simple terms, Joseph’s Storehouse locates stocks of surplus food, clothing and other commodities, which would normally be discarded, and distributes them needy people. In so doing, Joseph’s Storehouse accomplishes the following objectives:
In the era of dwindling government involvement and diminishing of the capabilities of the other traditional caregivers, Joseph’s Storehouse provides a model for ministries and other service providers. Joseph’s Storehouse provide that “bridge” between the sources of abundance and the points of need by helping businesses distribute their surplus, excess, and overage directly to the needy, and by providing no-cost value-added services to its donor businesses and the community.
The logistical effort required to accomplish the above objectives is handled through the volunteer workforce. Reporting to the Board of Directors and functional heads of Community Alert Inc. volunteer workers handle all of Joseph’s Storehouse’s organizational and administrative needs, including:
As donors of food and other commodities are identified, Joseph’s Storehouse arranges with the donor convenient times for Storehouse workers to pick up donations. The donations are transported to Joseph’s Storehouse in its own vehicle, where they are sorted, inventoried, and stored appropriately pending distribution to the network of other agencies, and directly to needy families.
Canned and frozen foods and other non-perishable items are stored and distributed to the network on a regular schedule.fresh foods and perishables are distributed immediately by contacting all networking agencies in a coordinated distribution effort. Advance notice of perishables donations is extremely important to ensure all commodities are distributed to the needy while they are still useful.
Commodities such as clothing, diapers, house-wares and other necessities are inventoried and distributed to the needy on an availability basis.
Staff personnel are on duty at Joseph’s Storehouse during business hours. There is an emergency phone number for after hours contact. Immediate aid packages containing food for a family four are readily available.
