Give Goods
Your child outgrew it. Another child needs it.
Building our pipeline of donated goods is the heart of what we do right now. The quality kids' items your family has outgrown can become clothing, essentials, and dignity for a child in our community who needs them. It's the simplest, most direct way to help a neighbor today.
What we collect
Quality kids' goods, ready for a second home
If your children have outgrown it, another child can grow into it. We welcome the quality kids' items your family is ready to pass on and treat each one as a gift entrusted to our care.

We cannot accept cribs, bassinets, pack-and-plays, crib mattresses and bumpers, infant sleep products, car seats, or bunk beds. Please give used items that are clean, complete, and in good condition.
Where it goes
Two ways every donation reaches a child
Whatever you give does one of two things, and both reach a child who needs it.
Given to a child in need through a partner
When a partner nonprofit has a child in crisis who needs clothing, shoes, or essentials now, the goods are contributed directly to them.
Resold to fund local programs
Quality items are sold affordably through the Collective Kids Closet. The proceeds fund local programs for children in foster care, kinship homes, and crisis.

Good for kids, good for the planet
The quality kids' items your family has outgrown stay in use for another child instead of adding to that pile. Reuse also saves precious resources; making one new pair of jeans takes about 2,000 gallons of water.
