Gulf Coast Rapid Response NetworkFlood Cleanup Kits for 2,000 Homes
2,000 cleanup kits staged before the next storm: a bucket of tools and protection, and a crew shirt for the volunteer who carries it in.

Priced as one real production order by Merch.com — decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment all in the goal.
When the water goes down, the first families to get help are the ones whose crews arrive with the right gear. Last season we lost two days per neighborhood waiting for supplies.
This drive stages 2,000 cleanup kits in our two warehouses before the season starts. Each kit is a lidded 5-gallon bucket holding heavy-duty gloves, N95 masks, safety glasses, a scraper, contractor bags and a mold-cleaning spray, plus a crew shirt in high-visibility orange so residents know who is at the door.
One kit cleans out one home with a crew of four.
$38 stages one kit. 2,000 kits is what we used in the last two storms combined.
Sponsor recognition, set by Gulf Coast Rapid Response Network
Where a sponsor’s brand can go
Gulf Coast Rapid Response Network decides where a sponsor’s brand may appear, and the main design stays theirs. A sponsor picks one of these and nothing else. On a live drive, this is what a company sees before it sponsors.
Gulf Coast Rapid Response Network’s design Sponsor placement
- Small printed recognitionA small printed line or mark away from the main design.
- Larger designated areaA set panel for the sponsor, such as the back or a side panel.
- Branded packaging or insertOn the bag or box the goods arrive in, or a card inside.
Drawn to show where, not the exact size. Nothing is printed until Gulf Coast Rapid Response Network approves a print proof, and no sponsor branding is ever added without their approval.
How backing works
Every dollar becomes goods
This goal is a real production order, priced before the drive went live — the items above, with decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment in the number. The goal is the order.
Funded means made
When the bar fills, production starts. Gulf Coast Rapid Response Network never has to chase invoices or manage a vendor — the goods just arrive.
Every outcome counts
Land short of the goal and Gulf Coast Rapid Response Network still gets merchandise scaled to what was raised. Sail past it and the extra becomes credit toward what they need next. Nothing raised here goes to waste.
