Impact over the years

Rareform partners with the three largest names in Out-of-Home Advertising to rescue thousands of billboards from landfills each month. Once collected from across the country, these durable vinyls are transported to hubs in Los Angeles and Nashville, where their second life begins.

At each facility, teams sort, clean, and cut the weather-resistant material to craft one-of-a-kind bags and accessories—each piece shaped by the unique patterns and designs of its original billboard. No two items are ever the same.

After years of refining its process and building a nationwide network of upcycling partners, Rareform has become a quiet but impactful force in sustainable design. From vinyl banners to mesh materials, the company is committed to giving hard-to-recycle materials a meaningful second life—proving that sustainability isn’t a trend, but a standard. Gifts for Good are proud to have diverted 5 large billboards from landfills in 2024.

Subarzsweets has turned a beloved sweat treat into a vehicle for joy, connection, and healing. What began as a passion for baking has grown into a heartfelt commitment to fighting food insecurity and supporting children and families facing medical challenges.

Inspired by her daughter’s journey with chronic illness, founder Daphne Subar partnered with The Oscar Litwak Foundation to help bring mobile playrooms to hospitals. These are specially manufactured carts filled with toys, books, arts and crafts that can be wheeled from one room to the next, serving a great number of patients. The contents of each mobile playroom can be customized to the needs of each hospital based on its patient population, and offers kids a chance to laugh, play, and just be children—even in the face of serious illness. In 2024, Subarzsweets helped donate a mobile playroom to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, creating moments of light during difficult times.

In 2024, Gifts for Good provided 15,751 hours of dignified employment through our partnership with NOVICA—supporting artisans in Guatemala, Thailand, Peru, and other regions with limited access to global markets.

NOVICA empowers talented artisans worldwide, helping preserve centuries-old traditions. With each handcrafted item, artisans earn reliable income that helps fund education, healthcare, and basic household needs. For many women in rural areas, this work is life-changing: it allows them to contribute meaningfully to their families and gain respect and independence within their communities. From luxurious alpaca throws from Peru, to recycled auto parts sculptures in Mexico, the gifts made through this partnership reflect the beauty of traditional craftsmanship and the power of economic opportunity.

We’re proud to continue partnering with NOVICA to help artisans thrive—while bringing meaningful, story-rich products to the people and companies we serve.

Sackcloth & Ashes is a purpose-driven blanket company on a mission to blanket the nation with warmth—both physically and emotionally. For every blanket purchased, they donate one to a local homeless shelter. Each blanket is crafted in Italy from post-consumer recycled materials, then finished in the U.S. without the use of water, dyes, or chemicals—bringing sustainability and dignity into every thread.

Since their founding in 2014, Sackcloth & Ashes has given over 1 million blankets through their local giving partners, including Night Strike, Humanity Showers, and City Relief. In 2024 alone, 33,547 blankets were provided to people experiencing homelessness.

In 2024, Gifts for Good helped restore dignity to 2,050 domestic violence shelter residents – from Alaska to Florida – by providing a week’s worth of personal care products. These items are not luxuries; they’re the foundation for physical and emotional healing.

Access to basic necessities like personal care products increases a survivor’s chance of transitioning to safe, independent living by more than 60%. Yet today, more than 6,000 shelters operate across the U.S., and over 70% report ongoing shortages of essential items such as hygiene products, blankets, and clothing. In a single 24-hour period, more than 10,000 requests for shelter and basic services go unmet.

Survivors are arriving right now – hoping for help. These numbers reflect more than just a gap in resources – they represent real people, in crisis, facing uncertainty. Meeting their most basic needs is not only urgent – it’s life-changing.

Trunks Up is a dedicated branch of the Abraham Foundation that helps provide vital support to the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand—a sanctuary founded by Lek Chailert that’s home to over 5,000 rescued animals, including 115+ elephants, dogs, cats, buffalo, cows, rabbits, and other animals. One of the most essential needs we help meet is providing food.

From truckloads of fresh fruit and vegetables for elephants, to daily meals for thousands of rescued dogs and cats, the cost of feeding every animal adds up quickly. Support for Trunks Up helps keep the sanctuary going by ensuring that no animal ever goes hungry.

Funding helps to provide: 6+ tons of food per day to feed the elephants; hundreds of meals daily for dogs, cats, and other rescued species; along with sourcing and transportation to the sanctuary’s remote location.

Every gift to Trunks Up through the Abraham Foundation helps fill a bowl, a trough, or a truck, ensuring that animals who were once neglected or abused now live with full bellies and full hearts.
