Free Donation Center
It is our joy to offer a free donation center for kids in foster care. We are located in Dormont and serve all foster families in Western PA. We have clothing, diapers, car seats, bedding, books, toys, toiletries, luggage, baby gear, cribs + more available for FREE! Please see address and hours of operation below.
SHOP
We welcome foster and kinship families to bring their foster children to come shop for what they need at our donation center.
Requirements: Please bring custody papers with you. If it is a brand new placement and papers have not come yet, an email from your case worker is sufficient.
Children over 6 need to be with you to shop at the donation center. Our mission is love and dignity for kids in foster care and part of that dignity is that they can pick out the clothing, styles and sizes that work best for them!
We encourage kids to pick 7-9 outfits, 2 pairs of shoes and a pack each of socks and underwear.
We allow kids to shop once a season for either spring/summer items or fall/winter. Diapers are given one time per placement.
We also have a sensory play room for any kids that need a break or would prefer to hang out there while parents shop.
