Why Donate to Benny’s Bodega?

  • When donating recurringly, you allow a non-profit like ours to feel secure each month in supporting the ALICE population/working poor by keeping our doors open with healthy food, clothing, cleaning, and hygiene products.

  • The ALICE population represents 60 million U.S. workers paid at minimum wage or below; where Benny’s Bodega assists this demographic in stretching their finances through complimentary basic needs items

  • As a small business, 2022 study showed that happier employees increase productivity by over 20% in the workforce. Moreover, more satisfied employees showed a 2% higher annual return on company assets.

  • Monetary and basic need items go directly to our storefront and go out the same day, providing immediate need to the working poor in your community

  • By donating to the ALICE population, you increase economic stability in your own community, creating a happier and more abundant society.

  • At one point, most of us either were in the ALICE population or knew someone who was. Giving back to this demographic helps not only the U.S. economic health but your primary community, Sussex County, New Jersey.
