In-Kind Giving

Your donation of items helps meet real, everyday needs for children, families, and individuals in our community.

Why In-Kind Gifts Matter

Every family’s needs are unique. By providing gift cards or choosing items from our Amazon Wishlists, you give parents the dignity of choosing what’s best for their children — whether it’s diapers, food, clothing, or household essentials.

How to Give In-Kind

Gift Cards – Most requested: Target, Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, or gas cards.

Amazon Wishlists – Send supplies directly where they’re needed.

Seasonal Drives – Follow our fundraising events for special holiday and school-year needs.

Your Gift Meets Real Needs.

A single gift card can mean a week of groceries, a tank of gas to get to work, or warm clothes for a child.
