“I think my purpose when I was in the military was completely different I always look at it as, I went from protecting my nation in a different capacity, to now turning around and giving back to the community and give back to those in need,” said Nick Gonzalez, Senior Director of Operations for ReSupply.”

“The partnership between Berthoud ReStore and ReSupply is “a great win for us,” said Tina Brewer, manager of the Berthoud ReStore, “it really helps our mission.”

“We make the choice to donate easier for the consumer by simplifying the process. Our advanced routing software allows movers to collect donations quickly and sustainably. We even offer recycling for items that can’t be donated,” CEO Paul Tocci said.

“We used to get five stops a day on one truck,” said Mark Auterio, director of business strategy at the Habitat Boston ReStore. “ReSupply comes in and all of a sudden, we’re getting five trucks with 20 stops. The store fills up. Paul and I are both dreams and we’re thinking, ‘What can we do to make sure that we’re able to build more homes.’”

“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.

“ReSupply understands the impact that donations make on organizations like Goodwill. As a veteran owned business, they share our commitment to skills training and connecting veterans to employment,” Rocco Tricarico, President & CEO, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut, said.

“Those goods have value,” ReSupply CEO Paul 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.”
