Host a Donation Drive

Donation drives led by individuals, corporate and community groups, and youth organizations, can help DePelchin provide children and families with the items they need most. From essentials like clothes, diapers, and school supplies to gifts for birthdays and holidays, the items collected relieve financial strain on our families and put smiles on the faces of our kids.

Option 1:

Collect and Deliver our Most Needed Items
  • Gift Cards
  • Clothing & Shoes
  • Diapers & Wipes
  • Board Games & Puzzles
  • Arts & Crafts Supplies
  • Sensory Toys & Weighted Blankets
  • Bikes, Helmets and Sporting Equipment

Please Note: DePelchin only accepts donations of new items.

Option 2:

Assemble Themed Baskets

Supporters may also collect items within a theme, and assemble them into a basket(s) that will go directly to our families. These baskets help DePelchin families feel celebrated and supported, marking special occasions.

A few examples for themed baskets include:

  • Birthdays
  • Family fun nights
  • Holiday-themed baskets for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, and more.
