Your Stuff Can Make a Difference
Most children enter foster care with little more than the clothes on their back. Donations from the community not only close this gap, but give kids a sense of dignity, identity, and confidence.
Giving is Easy. Here's how:

For more information on what we accept:
Clothing
When you donate clothing to Hope & Home, you are giving children and teens an avenue for self-expression, dignity, and choice.
Toiletries
Shampoo, deodorant, body wash, toothbrushes, toothpaste–we need all of it! Brand new only, please.
Baby Gear
Infants make up about 30% of the children who are placed with Hope & Home families. This is why we need car seats, high chairs, boun, strollers, diapers, formula, and more!
Toys and Games
From baby rattles and stuffed animals for "littles" to art supplies and video games for "bigs" – toys and games are always needed!
School Supplies
We all know how the cost of school supplies add up quickly! You can help local foster families by donating calculators, pens, rulers, notebooks, and those beloved no. 2 pencils!
Books, Bags, and More
Backpacks, suitcases, purses, lunchboxes and more! Kids love to express themselves in this fun and practical way.
Common Questions
What age range do you serve?
Hope & Home families take in children ages 0-18. So, we need items for all ages of children and teens, boys and girls.
What are your biggest needs?
Pajamas, new socks and new underwear are always at the top of our list. Also, seasonal items. So, in the winter we need coats, hats and socks. In the fall, we need school supplies. In the summer, we need swimming gear and flip flops.
I'd like to coordinate a donation drive. What should I do?
Awesome! Email us at [email protected] and we can get the ball rolling!
What does "like-new" mean?
Think items that are in great shape and have plenty of life left! Clothes with no rips, stains, or holes. Toys and games with all their parts and pieces.
