The Best Kind of Business

Alan Hamilton, Director of Philanthrophy

We don’t usually think of nonprofits as traditional businesses. But legally speaking? The government definitely does!

Every year, we file our Annual Report with the State of Washington and submit Form 990 to the IRS to keep our official, tax-deductible 501(c)(3) charity status. But there is one major twist that sets us apart from a typical corporation. Our bottom line isn’t about making money—it is about helping people.

That is why we think A Caring Closet is the most brilliant business model around:

  • 100% Free: We give away vital medical equipment at absolutely zero cost.
  • Eco-Friendly: Every borrowed walker or wheelchair keeps tons of medical gear out of local landfills.
  • Crisis Relief: We step in with immediate support for local families navigating tough health challenges.
  • Community-Powered: Our entire inventory relies on generous, daily donations from neighbors like you.

When you donate money, give your time, or simply tell a friend about our free services, you become a partner in this incredible operation. Thank you for keeping our “business” booming!
