The Place

Security System Upgrade - 2025

Security concerns limit The Place’s ability to safely serve customers and clients. This gift funds the purchase and installation of a new 64-channel NVR security camera system, helping ensure a safer environment for staff and those they serve.

Transportation Assistance - 2025

Many families in Forsyth and Dawson counties lack reliable transportation, and limited public transit makes it difficult to attend medical appointments, get to work, or participate in school meetings. This gift funds Lyft rides and $25 gas gift cards, enabling The Place to help clients reach critical destinations.

Mobile Pantry Pickup Truck - 2025

The need for The Place’s mobile pantry has grown rapidly, creating a critical demand for reliable transportation to serve neighborhoods, schools, and senior living facilities across Forsyth and Dawson counties. This matching gift provides funding for a new pickup truck, ensuring the mobile pantry can safely and reliably deliver fresh, healthy food to families in need.

New Washer and Dryer - 2025

The Place offers a safe, dignified space for unhoused clients to shower and provides towels and hygiene supplies to support their well-being. The current washer and dryer are outdated and can no longer keep up with demand. These funds cover the cost of a commercial-grade washer and dryer, ensuring clean, reliable access to this essential service.

Powered Pallet Jacks - 2025

Manually moving heavy pallets places physical strain on staff and volunteers at The Place’s thrift store and food warehouse. This gift provides funding for two electric pallet jacks, improving safety and efficiency in daily operations throughout storage and sorting areas.
