What we need, and in what condition

We accept donations of a wide range of goods that are used by preteens of all ages, from infants on up. If your children used it lightly, “our” children can probably use it, too.

Ideally, we would never have to dispose of a donated item. (That costs us time and money.) Please review the standards below to make sure that we can put your item to good use.

Please review the below information before you give:
