QUOTES from Brent and Robb

Quotes from Robb Price - Founder - DeliverGood
 

"We're just a couple of guys drivin' from Vancouver to Halifax delivering 35,000 pairs of ginch [men's underwear] to homeless shelters. We got the ginch, what do you got to give?"

"Through DeliverGood, we're building efficiencies into the charitable giving process."

"DeliverGood is building on the GotGinch philosophy of 'solving a problem' and, through our site, working towards solving thousands of problems."

"You don't need to have a lot of money to make a difference, you just need to remember that somebody along the way stuck their hand out to help you up." 

"I really hope to influence my 2 kids through what we're doing. If things go as planned, contributing to their community will be as second nature as putting on their shoes."

"A big piece of who I am today is a direct result of the volunteering I have been lucky enough to do in my life."

"Something as simple as a donation of a basketball can change a life."

Quotes from Brent King - Founder - GotGinch

"Underwear is one of those items that many of us take for granted. I suspect that it is one of the first luxuries given up on the way to the street, perhaps it should be the first to be restored in recovery."

"The experts tell me that the first step in rebuilding a life is to rebuild self respect and basic dignity. I can't think of many things more basic and dignifying than a pair of clean underwear."

"I don't expect a pair of free underwear to dramatically change a life. I do believe it could be a welcome gift to someone who has decided to make the first step (to rebuilding their life)."

"Poverty and homelessness is a complex problem with a number of contributing factors. I'm a simple guy, I felt I could best help by focusing on solving one problem."

"The transition programs that have been created at many of Canada's shelters have impressive success rates. I hope to help their success by supplying one of their needed items."

"Most homeless shelter across Canada post a list of urgently needed items. On the top of most of those lists is underwear. I'm proud to say that is no longer a need for the 10 shelters on our list."

"There are 160,000 thousand charities and non profits in Canada. Most post a wish lists of items that are urgently needed. Each item is a problem to be solved. Have you solved one problem?"
