Amazon Prime Day is tomorrow, July 11th. If you’re a member of Amazon Prime, then tomorrow is a great day to score deals on all kinds of merchandise. And as an added bonus, if you buy through the Amazon Smile program, Amazon will donate .5% of every sale to Trusted World. It’s a win-win!

Trusted World also provided resources to our new client, The Champion Center, for the first time this week. The Champion Center is an organization based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that provides food, clothing, and other resources to the homeless. They also assist transition homes and help people find jobs. We are glad to provide the resources they need to help people. 

This week Trusted World transported 680 cubic feet of clothing and food to The Hub in Shreveport, Louisiana. The Hub is dedicated to fighting poverty and ending sex trafficking in Shreveport. We are proud to be able to help them help others.

Donate Clothes

As a charity, we depend on donations to keep our inventories full. All of the clothing that we provide to our clients started out as a donation. We love it when you bring in your gently used clothing, and you can feel good about it too, knowing that it will be used to help a person in need, free of charge. You can always bring your donation to the Allen Service Center, or, if that’s not convenient, try one of our many donation bins in the greater DFW area.

Volunteer

We can always use a good pair of helping hands around here—trust us when we say that there’s always more work that needs to be done. We can always use help sorting clothing or, depending on the day, sorting cans or helping clean up around the Service Center. People of all ages are welcome to volunteer, though children must be accompanied by an adult volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering, you can sign up on our website.

Use Amazon Smile

This is perhaps the easiest way you can help Trusted World, as it takes about two minutes and can be done from the comfort of your own home. Amazon Smile is a program run by the popular Internet retailer Amazon, where the company will donate 0.5% of the value of every purchase to a charity of your choice. This is totally free for you and will just cost a few minutes of your time to set up. The best part is that you don’t even have to change any of your habits—just keep shopping on Amazon as you did before.

Tell People about Trusted World

Here at Trusted World, we want to help as many people as possible. We’re a small organization with big dreams. You can help us achieve those dreams by telling your friends, neighbors, and colleagues about Trusted World and what we do. It may not sound like much, but every new person who hears about Trusted World is a potential client we could help or someone who could provide resources to help us help people. Remember to direct people to our website to help them get in contact with us.

Host a Donation Bin

Trusted World has an excellent relationship with local boy scout troops, who make our donation bins for us. Because of their hard work we have a steady supply of donation bins. We are always in need of new places to put these bins so that we can take in more donations across the Metroplex. If you work at a business, organization, or church that would be interested in hosting one of these bins, please contact us. We have both indoor and outdoor models, so if your organization has no space inside but a place outside we could use, let us know. This is one of the best ways of helping us help people, and, it costs you nothing—we will deliver the bin and empty it when it gets full.

Buy a Mattress

Okay, we’re cheating a little with this one. We know we said these ideas wouldn’t cost you anything, but if you’re already in the market for a mattress, there’s a way you can get a good deal and make a little money for Trusted World. Rodenbaugh’s Flooring America will donate 10% of any mattress purchase over $599 to Trusted World—you just have to drop our name when you purchase the mattress. Rodenbaugh’s offers free delivery on any mattress $599 or higher, a 60-day Mattress Satisfaction Guarantee, a 10-year warranty, and if you buy a mattress worth $2,500 or more, you will receive a $300 bonus in store credit. This is a great opportunity to upgrade or replace an old mattress and help Trusted World in the process.

Trusted World is excited to announce that we have added Congo Restoration to the Trusted Network. Congo Restoration is an organization that is dedicated to revitalizing the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially areas that have been affected by heavy fighting.

Their mission is to find homes for orphans in need, as well as providing food and education. Congo Restoration also runs a sewing school for women, which gives them a skill set that empowers them and allows them to earn a living. Trusted World is excited to begin providing resources to Congo Restoration in the near future.
