Question 1

What exactly does PackHope do?

Accepted Answer

PackHope plans and runs kit-building events for corporate teams. Your employees build care packages with their own hands, and every kit is delivered to a nonprofit in your area. You pick a cause and a date, and we handle sourcing, logistics, nonprofit matching, and the impact report.

Question 2

What if we cannot host an event at all?

Accepted Answer

Then you give without one. Pack & Ship is a donation, not an event: you choose the cause and the reach, we source and pack every kit, and we deliver to organizations serving your own communities. The giving is credited to your company and the impact report reads the same, with counts, recipients, and geography.

Question 3

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Every event is custom. Kit type, team size, delivery geography, and lead time all affect the quote. Book a 15-minute call and we will put a number together.

Question 4

Can we just do this ourselves and save money?

Accepted Answer

You can source materials and coordinate a nonprofit yourself, but the internal cost adds up. Clients report 40 to 60 hours of internal labor to plan what we run turnkey, roughly one employee work-week before a single kit is built. Counted against the vendor coordination and the logistics, our rate is usually lower than the true DIY cost.

Question 5

What is the minimum and maximum team size?

Accepted Answer

We run events from 10 participants up to 5,000 and beyond. Our largest single engagement was 5,000 Humana associates building 67,000 kits in one day. Whether your team is a small department or a national all-hands, we can match the format to your headcount.

Question 6

Do the kits actually reach neighbors in need?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every kit is matched to a nonprofit partner before your event, and we coordinate delivery with the receiving organization once it wraps. Your impact report names the organization and how many kits they received.

Question 7

How do you measure and report impact?

Accepted Answer

Three business days after your event, you receive a full impact report: kits built, volunteer hours logged, nonprofit recipients named, and kit contents listed. It is formatted for use in board presentations, ESG reports, and internal newsletters. If your team asks what happened to the kits, this document has the answer.

Question 8

How far in advance do we need to plan?

Accepted Answer

Six to eight weeks is ideal. It gives us time to source materials, confirm the nonprofit partner, and arrange logistics without rush fees. We have run events on tighter timelines, so if your date is under 30 days out, ask and we will tell you what is feasible.

Question 9

What is backing PackHope's logistics capability?

Accepted Answer

PackHope is built on Umoja Health's warehousing and supply chain infrastructure. That is how we coordinated 67,000 kits in a single day for Humana. Most competitors are event planning companies, and we operate to healthcare supply chain standards.
