Make a Lasting Impact with Your Donation

Don’t have time to drop off a donation? No worries! You can still make a significant difference by supporting us through our Amazon Wishlists. Visit ACS Early Childhood Needs List  and Family Services Needs  to see additional ways you can help. You can also provide essential items from our Early Childhood Snacks List to ensure our children receive nutritious snacks.

In-Kind Donations

We kindly ask for new items only to ensure our children receive safe and high-quality materials. While we appreciate the generosity behind offers of gently used items, we are unable to accept them. 

The only exception would be for gently used children’s books that fit our age range (birth to six), we’d be happy to consider them!

Your understanding and support in providing new donations help us maintain the best possible environment for our kids. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to our mission.

Important Donation Guidelines

We have extremely limited storage space at our site, so it's crucial that items are not delivered without prior arrangements to ensure we can accommodate them.

Be sure to call us before coming by. If your item is not the right fit for us at the moment, we’ll gladly suggest other places where your donation could make a significant impact.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and helps us make the most of every generous contribution. Thank you!
