Support our local families in need this holiday season by participating in our toy drive at your school, church, or business. We're looking for new, unwrapped toys and gifts suitable for children aged from infants to 18 years old. Please note that we no longer accept donations of used toys.
Donate Clothes
Additionally, you can contribute to our clothing drive by providing new clothes, coats, shoes, blankets, diapers, and wipes for children in need, spanning from infants to 18 years old. As with toys, we do not accept used clothing items.
Donate Food
If you'd like to help in another way, consider a food drive. We appreciate any donations, but the items most needed include: canned meats like chicken, tuna and potted meat, green vegetables, crackers, peanut butter, beans, instant grits, soups, rice, canned fruits and Pop-Tarts.
