Calhoun Community Center receives large donation

Diversity Richmond closed out 2022 by distributing the remainder of more than $140,000 of Amazon merchandise that was donated to us by the company last Summer to more of our community partners. Just in time for the holidays we donated gift items, electronics, home goods, kitchen gadgets and personal care items valued at more than $50,000 to The Calhoun Community Center to help families living in Gilpin Court. This is in addition to the more than $70,000 in merchandise we donated to CARITAS and PATCH RVA in November.   

In the last two years, thanks to our ongoing partnership with Amazon, we have been able to donate nearly $250,000 worth of new and like-new merchandise to support community partners serving people in need in and around Richmond.
