Donations of new and nearly new children's items are what make the Giving Factory possible, and make it so efficient and effective. We accept donations of new and nearly new clothing, shoes, books, baby items, and school supplies for kids ages 0 to 12.

Wondering what to do with those clothes that your children barely wore, before they outgrew them? Want a place to recycle that stroller or those children’s books so that other kids can enjoy them, too? Working with our partner social-service organizations, Cradles to Crayons gives your new and nearly new children's items to deserving children around the greater Philadelphia region area.

We can only accept quality items - goods that “our” children will be proud to own, and which will help make them feel valued. Help us by donating only clothes that are in good condition, baby equipment that is safe and sound, school supplies that are unopened, and so on.

For more information about what we need and what we can accept, please review our donation quality standards. Please note: due to recent drop side crib recalls, we are no longer accepting any cribs.
