Organization goals: Our goal is to maintain our current level of excellence, while striving toward more. We foresee having mobile boutique units that will allow for greater reach. In addition, we will soon be adding educational talks/courses that will help the community organize their closets, therefore assisting with hygiene and mental health. We also project to grow our current operations to allow a larger reach by increasing our service areas through expanded mobility.

Lastly, and ultimately, we foresee creating a training that can extend our programs and operations on a national and potentially international capacity. In doing so, we will take our methods to expanded locations that have the drive and capacity to begin their own "Give-n-Receive".
