What they do
ACTS 4 MINISTRY (ACTS 4) is A NON-DENOMINATIONAL, TAX EXEMPT 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION THAT SUPPORTS THE NEEDS of FAMILIES and INDIVIDUALS IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS THROUGH THE COLLECTION and DISTRIBUTION of REUSABLE GOODS. AS A WATERBURY FOUNDED and ESTABLISHED ORGANIZATION, ACTS 4 PRIMARILY SERVES THE GREATER WATERBURY AREA. INDIVIDUALS IN NEED CAN CONTACT THE ORGANIZATION to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT and SHOP FREELY THROUGHOUT THE BOUTIQUE for THESE NECESSITIES. NO TWO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THE SAME - OUR CLIENTELE COME FROM HOMELESSNESS THROUGH MID-INCOME WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A LIFE DEVASTATING or ALTERING EVENT. THROUGH A TEAM of INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS, WHO COLLECT BOTH GENTLY USED and NEW ITEMS to PROVIDE to THOSE WE SERVE, EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS A SHOPPING EXPERIENCE IN THE BOUTIQUE. EACH PERSON THAT COMES IN for AN APPOINTMENT RECEIVES THESE ITEMS FREE of CHARGE (AN AVERAGE of 82 ITEMS PER PERSON).

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
