Why are our programs so important?
1 in 7 Americans struggle with hunger now, relying on food pantries and soup kitchens to survive. We are determined to better nourish our neighbors, by providing healthy nonperishables and fresh farm produce and by transforming food drives in the United States.
Individuals and families emerging from homelessness and crises have next to nothing when they secure their new housing. We launch them into independent living with housewares and essentials that turn a house into a home.
New to independent living, our clients need life skills education to better care for themselves, their families, and their homes. We support clients for a year after their make fresh starts, increasing their confidence and self-sufficiency.
Many Americans unwittingly give junk to food drives and collections. Our Think Before You Donate campaign helps increase access to healthy food for people who live in food deserts, emphasizing nutritious nonperishables.
Heaven on earth is...

No waste. No red tape. No bloated salaries. We’re redefining what “nonprofit” means.
An annual earmarked grant covers our overhead expenses. Our compassion and practical-mindedness drives us to keep solutions simple and expedient. We partner with existing organizations to stretch your dollars and deepen our impact in communities — in cities and towns across America and just across the border.
Heaven on earth is ...
a fresh start in life.
In 2022, 417 individuals, emerging from homelessness and crises, received household essentials and life skills education.
“My children and I have been going from house to house for two years, after I left an abusive relationship with my son’s father. Now we have a safe new townhome of our own, right near their school. Thanks to Heaven on Earth NOW, we are all sleeping on mattresses, and have everything we need to make our house a home . . .
I’m so grateful, what a blessing. The generosity is overwhelming. And my kids were so excited to have the bedding, the pots and pans, everything. They can’t stop talking about it . . .
It would have otherwise have taken me months and months to save up to equip our home from Good Will. Now I can take the kids places, and help them discover new things, reminding them what life is really about.”
