Gifts in Kind

We depend on in-kind gifts of goods and services, as well as donations, to help our families make ends meet. For many of our children and their families, these items are truly necessities.

If you wish to make a Gift-in-Kind donation, please contact our Friends of Karen Staff.

Unfortunately, due to a child’s compromised immune system from chemotherapy, we can not accept any used items.  We do not accept donations of used furniture, TVs or other electronics, cars or trucks, or clothing.
