Donate shoes

What can we say? Kids are tough on shoes so the less used, the better! We are always in need of sneakers!

Please keep heels, loafers, slippers, cleats, sandals, boots, and platforms at home.

Donate Travel items

Kids get dirty! We are always in need of travel sized male and female hygiene items. Items include; deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, individually wrapped toothbrushes, and soap.
