Our Mission: To provide, free of charge, low-income and homeless children from birth to pre-teen the basic essentials they need to be safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. We also set a foundation for lasting change through the meaningful, tangible volunteer opportunities we provide to thousands of youth and adults each year.
Our Model: We're the glue between communities that have and communities that need. We make it simple for children, families, corporations to give their time, treasures and talent to benefit other children in their community. By partnering with social service agencies for distribution, we have a direct channel to serve tens of thousands of children in need each year.

Lynn Margherio, CEO/Founder
Our work relies on adults and kids, coming together in their neighborhoods and in our warehouse- the Giving Factory.
In the Giving Factory, we're looking for volunteers of all ages to work a shift inspecting books, matching outfits, sorting and testing toys, stuffing backpacks, or shopping to fill orders for local boys and girls. We also have a "service path" for high school students and adults who want to volunteer regularly or help in our business office.
