The Packaged Good Inc.

The Packaged Good Inc. is a US-based nonprofit organization that aimed to empower children to engage in philanthropic activities by creating care packages for those in need. Established by Sally Mundell and her daughters, the organization sought to help them cope with grief while fostering a sense of social responsibility among young people.

Mission and Activities

The Packaged Good's mission was to shape the next generation of philanthropists by teaching children the value of giving back to their communities. Thousands of children participated in its programs, learning about the impact of their efforts on various groups, including the homeless, children in need, soldiers, and refugees. The organization's activities focused on creating care packages, which not only helped those in need but also provided an educational experience for the children involved.

History and Restructuring

The Packaged Good operated for over four years before the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to halt in-person programming. During this period, it adapted by offering online experiences and collaborating with local charities to continue providing support. Due to the evolving needs of the community, the organization's board decided to dissolve The Packaged Good Inc. and integrate its programming into Solidarity Sandy Springs, a local organization that had expanded beyond food assistance to provide broader community support.

Legacy

Through its transition, The Packaged Good's mission continues under Solidarity Sandy Springs, allowing families to remain involved in creating care packages for those in need. This merger reflects a strategic response to community demands, ensuring that the values of philanthropy and community service instilled by The Packaged Good endure.
