Ways to Get Involved
Donate Items
Your donations make everything we do possible. Our inventory is almost entirely from your donations. If your donations meet our clients' needs, they are passed on exclusively to youth in foster and kinship care. We never sell donated inventory and only clients can access our shopping centers and use our order services. If we receive donations that are not what our clients need, we pass them on to other 501(c)(3) organizations.
