The items listed below are often leftover from meetings, parties, and special events. Our "Special Deliver-E" department will make arrangements to have them delivered to local food banks, homeless shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, relief agencies, and charitable organizations that help people in need.

Food & Beverage

If you're planning an event that includes hors d'ouevres, a buffet, or a sit-down banquet, there are usually leftovers that haven't been served. Why throw this food out when it can be given to people that are hungry or homeless!

Flowers & Centerpieces

Did you ever walk away from an event commenting on how beautiful the floral arrangements or centerpieces were and what a shame it would be for them to be thrown out? We'll coordinate delivery of these flowers to nearby hospitals or nursing homes to bring someone cheer or brighten up the rooms of people that are sick.

Balloons & Party Supplies

Balloons are often used when decorating a room or event space. Why discard them at the end of the event when they can help bring smiles to the face of children that are ill or facing life-threatening diseases.

Tote Bags & Duffle Bags

Tote Bags and Duffle Bags are often given out by companies that want to visibly display the name of their business or a logo to promote a new product, service, or marketing slogan. When these bags are leftover at the end of an event or trade show, we'll distribute them to children living in foster care throughout the country. The typical foster child moves an average of seven times before the age of 18. These children are taken from their homes tearful and fearful of what is going to become of them. When a social worker picks up a foster child to move them to a new home, they usually bring a black, plastic garbage bag for the child to put their possessions in. We'll make arrangements to deliver these leftover tote bags to foster children so they have a more dignified way to transport the few little stuffed animals and belongings they own.

Premiums & Promotional Products

Promotional items are purchased for a variety of programs including company meetings, conferences, product launches, etc. Extra boxes of these products are often left behind at the conclusion of these events. Depending on the item, some could be very useful to families who have lost everything and are left homeless from an unexpected tragedy such as a fire or flood.

Trade Show Giveaways & Supplies

Companies that exhibit at conventions and trade shows typically have a surplus of giveaways, product samples, and supplies left over at the end of a conference. Most exhibitors either throw them out or pay to ship them back to their office or company warehouse where they just sit around and go to waste. Well, now there's a better option. Through our company, these leftovers can be delivered to relief agencies that are helping thousands of people who have lost all their worldly possessions due to an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, or other type of natural disaster.

Misprinted Items

Many people experience this at one time or another. You order a bulk quantity of giveaways for a trade show or promotional event and the items are either misprinted or the print quality is not acceptable. Rather than throwing these products out, we'll make the arrangements to deliver those items that could be of use to people in need.

Hotel Room Amenities

The free bars of soap, shampoo, and unused toiletries provided for your comfort and convenience in hotel bathrooms can also be rescued and put to good use. Special E can collect these items and distribute them to people that can't afford the basic necessities to keep themselves healthy and clean.

Bridesmaid Dresses

Since these beautiful dresses are usually custom-ordered to tie in with a brides choice of colors or wedding theme, they're rarely ever worn again and usually get lost in the back of a closet or attic. Special E will make arrangements to get them to underprivileged girls who could not otherwise afford a nice dress for special occasions we take for granted. These include religious ceremonies, school proms, sweet 16's, and other milestone celebrations in life.
