Headquartered in Boston, ReSupply, Inc. simplifies donating furniture and household goods to charity, which can otherwise be a logistical challenge. The company was founded by childhood friends Paul Tocci and Chris Macnamara in 2015. A West Point graduate, Tocci conceived of the business during his time as an Army Officer.
“Military families move frequently, and I noticed a lot of valuable household items left behind. Many of these ended up in landfills, and I realized these items could serve a greater charity purpose,” said Paul Tocci, founder and CEO of Resupply.
ReStore, ReSupply celebrate major milestone
Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston
Trucks line up at Habitat Greater Boston’s ReStore all week, loaded with furniture and household items looking for a new home. But the cargo in the one that pulled up out front on a recent morning was something different: a single mid-century modern sofa and a major milestone.
The delivery of the beige Lee Jofa sofa marked the 25-millionth pound of material donated to charities across the country through ReSupply, a veteran-founded technology company on a mission to make giving simple, four years after the organization first piloted its model at the ReStore in West Roxbury.
“We’re here to celebrate something really special,” Paul Tocci, founder and CEO of ReSupply, said at an event celebrating the achievement on June 17. “This represents 25 million pounds of items that were saved from American landfills that became donations to charity instead of trash in a dump.”
Donating home goods and furniture in Central Florida just became easier thanks to a new partnership between Goodwill Industries of Central Florida (GICF) and Resupply.
Resupply is a veteran-owned and operated company that provides pickup services for furniture, appliances and other home goods. Interested donors pay a small fee for Resupply haulers to come to their home, remove items they wish to donate and deliver them to a local Goodwill. Any items not selected by Goodwill will be brought to other local charities.
“We’re always looking for ways to make the donation process easier and more accessible for our community,” said Ed Durkee, president and CEO at GICF. “Not only does this service do all the heavy lifting – literally – for our donors, but it also provides jobs for veterans trying to re-integrate into the civilian workforce. Goodwill is proud to partner with Resupply to make the donation of larger household items easier and support our military members in the process.”
Paul Tocci urges folks to think about the goods in basements, attics and storage units that are sitting there, with no plans for future use. It could be in a garage, basement or attic.
“Those goods have value,” Tocci said. “They can be transformed into hot meals on the table. They can be transformed into a roof over somebody’s head that hasn’t had a home in multiple years.”
Tocci is the founder of a service that’s making that transformation happen, by way of logistics technology. Resupply recently expanded to Baltimore.
Mainers looking to donate items to Goodwill can pay a small fee for ReSupply haulers to come to their homes, pick up the items and deliver them to a local branch of Goodwill. ReSupply will take any items Goodwill won’t take to other charities.
The partnership will begin in Greater Portland and expand elsewhere in Maine over the coming weeks.
“Getting to a donation center can be difficult for some folks, especially if they have large, bulky items like furniture,” said Rick Mooney, Goodwill’s director of logistics. “Our goal is to make donating easier and more accessible for our communities by offering donation pickups.”
