The DTCare Difference

Colossal x DTCare for US Charitable Causes

DTCare and Colossal are joining forces to support charitable causes that save lives and make a lasting impact right here in the USA. The DTCare/Colossal fundraising model involves three essential parts: a nationally registered 501(c)(3) organization that facilitates receipt and distribution of donations (DTCare), a nationally registered professional fundraiser that solicits those donations (Colossal), and a designated US Charity that receives the bulk of the funds raised.

DTCare Attends TRYPO's Classical Music Benefit Concert for Ukraine

On Saturday, 6 May 2023, DTCare had the pleasure of attending a live concert of classical music hosted by Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras (TRYPO) at the Sewickley United Methodist Church to benefit Nova Ukraine, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization actively providing humanitarian aid and assistance to the citizens of Ukraine since 2014. The show featured stunning solo and chamber performances by Dr. Solomiya Ivakhiv, Musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh Faculty, and Youth Chamber Connection. Seeing so many individuals coming together in support of such a meaningful cause was heartwarming. The proceeds from the event will go towards providing aid and resources to those affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. DTCare was honored to be invited to join the event's reception for the opportunity to share about our work in Ukraine. The event was an unforgettable experience and a great reminder of the power of music to bring people together for the greater good.

Partners for Prosperity: DTCare & RecPak

As the conflict rages on in Ukraine, destroying homes, separating families, and giving rise to the biggest humanitarian crisis the world has faced since WW2, hunger is rampant and increasing daily. In 2022, the World Food Programme (WFP) interviewed more than 4,700 Ukrainians and found that one-third of households are food insecure due to a lack of income, closed stores, and food shortages, among other factors. That is why DTCare, RecPak, and St. Peter & St. Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church provided critical hunger relief in some regions most impacted by the war. Through our partnership, DTCare sent 4,548 RecPak meals worth over $55,000 to Atlas Global Aid and our other partners in Ukraine to provide food aid for IDPs, servicemen, and servicewomen.

RecPak is an incredible organization taking the U.S. meal replacement industry by storm with its pioneering formulas. Their mission is to "help men and women perform at their best, whether on the frontline, the fire line, or the fall line." Co-founded by military veteran/first responder brothers Deed and Collin on the belief that the best way to “leave the world better than you found it” is to bring something to it, the organization gives back to Ukrainian communities in need with every online sale, donating one pouch of RecPak for every pouch sold. DTCare takes pride in working with RecPak, whose mission reminds us so much of our own. To learn more about RecPak, please visit recpak.co.

DTCare Brings Dignity and Empowerment to Women and Girls with Days for Girls

DTCare is thrilled to collaborate with the Pittsburgh Chapter of Days for Girls in integrating their reusable feminine hygiene kits into our aid shipments, making menstrual products and women's health education available to girls and women experiencing period poverty due to extreme poverty, disaster, or conflict. Through our partnership with Days for Girls Pittsburgh Chapter, we have successfully distributed 930 kits to girls and women in Ukraine and Panama. Days for Girls is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and educating underprivileged girls and women across the globe. Their innovative programs and collaborations are transforming the lives of millions of women and girls by providing them with tools and knowledge to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence. To further our commitment to community engagement and support for our nonprofit partners, DTCare had the opportunity to join Days for Girls on 19 April to participate in kit-making and learn more about the production process. Each Days for Girls kit is carefully crafted with vibrant and patterned cotton fabrics and contains two pairs of underwear, two shields, eight liners, soap and washcloth, instructions for use, and a transport bag. It was a wonderful experience gaining insight into the behind-the-scenes process and observing first-hand the hard work of making these life-changing kits.
