WHAT IS THE PARTNER PROJECT?
You Serve Families.
We Help You Serve Them Better.
You already know the families in your community who are struggling. Your counselors, case workers, and staff see it every day — parents stretched too thin, children coming to school without what they need, families one setback away from a real crisis.
The A Lot of Good Partner Program gives your organization a way to do more for those families without adding to your workload or budget. We provide monthly shopping vouchers that your team distributes directly to the families you choose. Those families use the vouchers to shop at the A Lot of Good Thrift Store in Upland — free of charge.
Sandy Cappelli, Founder & Executive Director, A Lot of Good
This is not a referral program that sends families somewhere else and hopes for the best. Your team stays in control. You decide which families receive vouchers. You distribute them. You see the difference directly in the people you already serve.
Clothing for the whole family. Household essentials. Baby gear. Books and supplies. Whatever the family needs most — they shop for it themselves, with dignity, in a real store.
HOW IT WORKS.
Four Simple Steps
The partner program is designed to be as easy as possible for your team to use.
Here is the whole process from start to finish.

Your Organization Applies
You reach out to A Lot of Good to become an approved partner. Complete the Partner Application and send to partners@alotofgood.org..
2
We Get To Know Each Other
You will get a call from A Lot of Good to discuss your organization and determine how a partnership would be beneficial and which level of partnership would be best.
3
Approval & Next Steps
Upon approval, you will receive a confirmation call about your Partnership. If you are a Community or Hospital Partner, information about voucher delivery and timelines will be determined. All partners will be advised on how to make a bulk item request.
4
Communicate & Review
We love to chat with our Partners. if you have questions, issues, or suggestion, please call us, and we will do the same.
Each year all Partners will be reviewed for continuation for the next year.
PARTNER LEVELS
Three Ways to Partner:
All of Them Meaningful
The Partner Program has three levels, each designed for a different type of organization. Every level gives your team a tool it did not have before: a way to provide physical goods to families in need without spending your own.
Think of it as adding a service to your offering without adding a line item to your budget. The families you serve get more — and so do you.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Good Questions. Clear Answers.
Everything you need to know before reaching out.
Does it cost anything to become a partner?
No. Joining the A Lot of Good Partner Program is completely free for your organization. There is no fee, no membership cost, and no budget required on your end. The vouchers are provided to your team at no charge.
Do we have to manage a lot of paperwork?
No. We keep the process simple. Your team distributes vouchers to the families you choose. That is the main task. We handle the rest — the store, the inventory, the backpack drive, and the holiday gifts.
Does this replace our existing programs?
Not at all. The Partner Program is designed to work alongside what your organization already does — not replace it. Think of it as adding a service you did not have before. You keep doing what you do best. We fill a gap you may not have been able to fill on your own.
Who decides which families receive vouchers?
You do. Your counselors, social workers, or staff identify the families in your community who need support most. You know your families better than anyone. We trust your judgement completely.
Where is the A Lot of Good Thrift Store?
The store is located at 1980 W. Foothill Blvd. in Upland, CA. It is open Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM, and Sunday 10 AM to 6 PM. Families simply bring their vouchers to the register and shop like any other customer — with dignity and at no cost.
What is the There Is Hope Project?
It is A Lot of Good’s flagship support program. Families enrolled in There Is Hope receive monthly gas cards, grocery gift cards, and free store shopping for up to three years — plus backpacks and holiday gifts every year. Community and Outreach Partners can nominate families for this deeper level of support. Find out more at alotofgood.org/thereishope.
When can my organization nominate families for There Is Hope?
Nominations are accepted each November for families who begin receiving support the following January. If you are interested, the best time to reach out is before November so we can get your organization approved in advance.
How do we get started?
Simply reach out to our team by email or phone. We will walk you through the partner levels, answer any questions, and get your organisation set up. Contact Tony at marketing@alotofgood.org or call (909) 233-7815.
