Donate.Local.Simple is an organization dedicated to connecting those in need with those willing to give. The organization was founded roughly seven years ago by Trish Dilg when she and her family relocated to the Lehigh Valley and realized its need for a centralized and local donation center. Dilg felt that the Valley lacked a one-stop place where residents, who had items they were no longer using, could easily drop off donations that would then be passed on to those who truly needed them. Recognizing this need, she employed the help of her husband to develop a site that would provide the public with updated lists of items needed by local nonprofits like Mary’s Shelter, Sixth Street Shelter and New Bethany Ministries.
Today, Donate.Local.Simple has grown to connect the community with a wide range of local nonprofits to help those in need. They continue to provide up-to-date need lists while also facilitating collections and donations throughout the Lehigh Valley. In addition to the primary work of Donate.Local.Simple, the organization has also been able to directly impact that community through initiatives like apartment makeover projects. The apartment makeovers are meant to help those transitioning from living in shelters to living on their own. Donate.Local.Simple provides these families with clothing, furniture and more.
