The program helps various constituents including pets (homeless and owned), families facing economic hardships, unhoused populations, military veterans, domestic violence survivors, victims of disasters, and displaced persons.

These products are then made available to qualified distribution groups called Ambassadors who ensure they reach the organizations in need known as Recipients. The program operates through a sustainable hub and spoke model similar to a food bank where goods are donated but costs are covered by handling fees and donations. To apply as a Recipient organization, interested parties can locate the nearest Ambassador on the program's website and apply directly through their website.
