Why Donate Products?

We depend upon manufacturers, retailers and licensors of clothing, shoes, books, toys, baby gear, juvenile product and other essentials to provide items desperately needed by children in poverty and other distressed situations.

  • 100 percent of your product donation will benefit children and families in need.
  • We pick up from your facility and deliver directly to a bona fide local service organization. There are no service charges, we use no middlemen and, to the extent possible, we distribute to nearby agencies.
  • You will qualify for a tax deduction, which, in some instances, will exceed the actual value of the merchandise.
