Member Meeting, Meet our Speakers:

Emily Petway, Executive Director and Founder at GiveNKind

GiveNKind began as a local movement to help fulfill the needs of Chicagoland nonprofits by matching them with individuals who had donated a specific item. Occasionally, GiveNKind received calls from businesses and distributors looking for placements for their excess goods. These calls increased over time, and GiveNKind responded.
