Birmingham Group Health Services (BGHS) relies on local corporations to support our organization and make our community a happier, healthier place to work and live.  We are extremely grateful to all of our corporate partners such as:

 whose spirit of generosity and commitment to community help us to continue our mission of helping those in need.

The following are ways in which your organization can join the ranks of our community-minded corporate partners who support BGHS and make a tremendous difference in the lives of others everyday!

My Sister's Place Corporate Drop Bin Program

Corporations/businesses wishing to make a difference in the community by supporting My Sister's Place (a unique family thrift shop that benefits BGHS' The Umbrella domestic violence program) can take advantage of a unique and hassle-free donation opportunity offered by the store - the My Sister's Place Corporate Drop Bin Program.

My Sister's Place Corporate Drop Bins collect large donations of clothing and household items from corporations/businesses and their interested employees via collection bins that the corporation/business agrees to host at one or more of their employee worksites.  The bins are provided and set up free of charge by My Sister's Place staff and emptied on a regularly scheduled basis.  All employers need do is encourage employees to utilize the bins to donate their unwanted, but good quality items to the My Sister's Place store.  BGHS even provides tax write-off forms for employees who donate items to the bins.

Corporations/businesses interested in participating in The My Sister's Place Corporate Drop Bin Program should contact Birmingham Group Health Services' Development Office at
(203) 736-2601.

Corporate Partnerships

Successful caring and support of our community can only be accomplished if non-profits and corporations work hand and hand. BGHS has developed many avenues for creating innovative, on-going corporate partnerships that directly support our valuable programs and services.  These avenues include corporate lending of employees (such as MIS professionals), space (such as conference rooms or auditoriums for workshops, etc.), and goods and services (such as cell phones, computers, and/or vehicles).  Other partnership initiatives include corporate subsidies of BGHS employee trainings and workshops, corporate involvement in our rehabilitation program (such as offering job training or employment opportunities to BGHS clients), and corporate matching of dollars raised through other BGHS initiatives.

General Giving

BGHS welcomes both monetary and in-kind donations of any size to be designated as a general gift or to support the program of your choice.  Many corporations have donated office furniture and supplies, as well as household furniture and goods, vehicles, and services to support all facets of our organization.  The Development Department at BGHS will be happy to work with your company to assist you with any giving proposal at any time.

For more information about these exciting corporate giving opportunities, or to discuss a giving proposal of your own, please contact BGHS' Development Department at (203)736-2601, ext. 360, today!
