Good To Know Before You Give

• Good condition only. Items should be new or gently used — a good rule of thumb is to only give what you’d feel comfortable gifting to a friend or bringing into your own home.

• Car seats, diapers, and wipes: NEW ONLY. No exceptions.

• Pay and deliver directly. Pay bills straight to the service provider, and deliver items straight to the family, never to DCS.
