Distribution of Donated Items

I've had a couple of people ask me, "How do I know that the kids are going to benefit from the items I've donated?" I asked Beth (my contact person at the Home) how the donated items are received and distributed, and here's what she said:

Other than our Materials Manager and his assistant, employees of the Home are NEVER allowed access to the items that are donated to us. The area in the building where the items are sorted and distributed is locked, there are cameras in the areas and access to our warehouse is only allowed with our materials manager. When items are needed for the kids, our staff requisitions them from our materials department. As far as I know, we've never had any trouble with employees taking things. I do know that employees have been reprimanded for going through items that had yet to be sorted- not to take things for themselves, but pulling items out for kids before the items had been properly documented and logged.
