About the Go-To Crew

The Go-To Crew is a group of individuals who have agreed to receive email alerts about our urgent donation needs. Members of the Go-To Crew help us respond within 24-48 hours to urgent requests from our partner programs on behalf of specific families or individuals in crisis.

How Does It Work?

When we receive an urgent request from a shelter or we are running dangerously low on a certain item, we send an email to the Go-To Crew listing the specific needs. Go-To Crew members check their homes for the needed items, collect the items from family, friends, or colleagues, or purchase the items from our Amazon Wish List or their preferred retailer. Then, they ship the items to Circle of Hope or drop the items off in person during the hours listed in the alert. Our volunteer drivers bring the donated items directly to the family, individual, or shelter in need right away. On average, we send Go-To Crew requests once per month and members can respond to as many or as few as they would like.
