About us
What is Capital Cares Utah?
Capital Cares Utah is a Salt Lake City nonprofit that distributes donated goods to partner nonprofits across seven western states.
Every month, a national retailer donates truckloads of goods. We sort them in our warehouse, then move them through 30 partner organizations that already know and serve the people in need around them.

- 01
Goods Donated
Every month, Capital Cares receives truckloads of goods generously donated by a national retailer. These goods are sorted and stored in our warehouse.
- 02
Partners Order
Because donated goods range from diapers to furniture, our partners receive a list of available items that fit in line with their organization.
- 03
Distribution
Through partner organizations that align with the Capital Cares mission, these goods are distributed to those in need.
