SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico , April 18 /Businesswire/ - Happen Ventures, a leading beneficial reuse company, is thanking its nonprofit network for their extraordinary work ahead of National Volunteer Week (April 21-27, 2024).

National Volunteer Week is celebrated annually during the third week of April and this year is observed from April 21 to 27. This week-long celebration places a spotlight on inspiring figures whose invaluable kindness through volunteering betters our communities.

“Ahead of National Volunteer Week, Happen Ventures welcomed to its Beneficial Reuse Program more than 500+ nonprofit organizations to receive excess inventory and returns from grocery and department stores,” said Jessica Gonzalez, CEO & Founder of Happen Ventures. “Items such as protective equipment and personal care products are being donated every week to small and forgotten nonprofits in need of supplies to operate.”

Happen Ventures determines the ideal donation size for the nonprofit which ranges from boxes, pallets, or truckloads. They receive timely notifications when local businesses have products for donations matching their needs. Immediately, Happen Ventures works with the nonprofit to coordinate the pickup of the donated items.

The donated items typically consist of:

  • Clothing & Shoes
  • Toys & Games
  • Cleaning products
  • PPE
  • Electronics
  • School supplies
  • Baby care
  • Food
  • Furniture
  • Home Maintenance hardware
  • Health & Wellness
  • Beauty Items
  • Women’s hygiene
  • Office supplies
  • Household items

At the heart of Happen Ventures is a commitment to community upliftment. By donating items to those in need, they not only reduce waste but also make a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals.

Gonzalez added they turn unwanted items into community resources, saving them from the landfill and giving them a new purpose. Nonprofits are gaining exclusive access to a variety of products that make a real difference to their organizations.
