The FLP Center is located in the east side of Pittsburgh at: 463 S. Trenton Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15221.
When facing the large white building, there is a gated entrance on the left side. Please park there and enter through the front doors on S. Trenton Ave. There is also street parking on Trenton Ave.
Please bring custody papers with you each time you shop. If it is a brand-new placement and papers have not come yet, an email from your case worker is sufficient. Kids who are reunifying with their parents are also able to come shop. We ask for the case worker to contact us in this situation.
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 several outfits, shoes, and a pack each of socks and underwear. We also have baby gear, toys, books, toiletries, diapers + more available as needed.
If you receive an emergency placement and there are no shopping appointments available, please click here to email us and see how we can help.
