Sugar Check Charity raises money by getting online donations, by sponsors, and by fundraising events. After raising a certain amount of money, we choose who we want to make the donation to by researching the free clinics. Our goal is to donate to clinics every two to three weeks and we are rapidly expanding the number of clinics that we work with. New, free clinics are chosen by how much education that the provide to the patient, the location, and whether they are funded by donations or get Federal funding. Once we have determined who we want to donate to, we determine what their needs are for their diabetic patients and then buy the supplies. We typically visit the clinic with our first donations in order to meet the staff and tour their facilities.

This should be content on how the organization volunteers in the community.

Our mission is to help the diabetic community understand and monitor their diabetes by working with free clinics to help provide diabetic supplies for their patients that complete their education classes on diabetes maintenance.

Sugar Check Charity’s website acts as a hub for information. We like to have specific questions linked to other reliable websites like the CDC, ADA, and Diabetes Educator so people can get quick answers to their questions but also can look more in-depth into the question. We believe it is more effective and efficient for the patient to receive the main information from the clinic and any extra questions can be answered online. SCC mainly helps provide the needed diabetic supplies to the clinic and the free clinic distributes the information and supplies to the patients as needed. 

If you’ve decided that you want to financially support a cause that’s close to your heart, rest assured, you will be supporting a nonprofit that will use your funds to make a lasting impact for the diabetic community. On average, according to the American Diabetes Association, the average person with diabetes spends about $9,601 per year on diabetes related supplies and issues/doctor visits. The ADA states that about 15% of the total cost per year goes toward supplies, which means that average person with diabetes spends over $1440 a year on supplies (you can find that report here). With your helps, we can make a major impact on thousands of peoples lives.
