How it all started

In early 2020, COVID-19 brought the world to its knees.

Overnight, shops were closed, shelves were empty, disinfectants were unavailable, and at least one person was stabbed over toilet paper.

Amidst the chaos, health care workers risked their lives without adequate protective gear, essential businesses could not protect their employees, and many families struggled to secure food.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. died, millions were unemployed, and vast numbers of businesses that took decades to build were put out of business in weeks.

What we learned

We realized that the country had to prepare differently. No companies could ever meet the simultaneous consumer demand for certain items when a pandemic hits, and every day of delay means more potential deaths.

Instead of one national stockpile, we realized that the country needs a nationwide distributed network of managed stockpiles owned by families and businesses that could be shipped to homes in a day.

Moreover, we need to alert people about impending pandemics before they arrive and ensure that people are better educated about how to deal with it. In the end, more people with the proper information and supplies means fewer lives lost.

our impact

Every order has an impact

As a community, we know that we are all in this together, and our front-line workers risk their lives to try and save our loved ones. To support their efforts, we offer every member the chance to add additional supplies to their order for frontline workers. A little bit from everyone goes a long way.

We also know that pandemics are here to stay and that scientists and medical researchers are working incredibly hard to find the next vaccines and treatments for many potential threats. To support their efforts, we give our members the opportunity to support research for a universal flu vaccine.

We believe that being prepared means more than just banking essential supplies, it means investing in the people and research that will help all of us to be more ready together.
