As spring cleaning begins, we’re inviting local organizations, businesses, schools, and community groups to make a real impact by hosting a clothing drive for Children In Need!

Every day, thousands of children in our community rely on us for basic essentials like clothing, shoes, and coats. As families clean out their children’s closets, those gently used items can become something powerful, confidence, dignity, and opportunity for a child right here in Washington County.

Hosting a drive is simple, meaningful, and a great way to engage your team, students, or members in giving back. We’ll provide guidance to help you get started and ensure your efforts directly support local children in need.

We are especially in need of:
- Children’s clothing in all sizes (baby - adult clothing sizes)
- Shoes
- Coats and seasonal wear

If your organization is interested in hosting a drive, we would love to partner with you! Just email Brittany at Brittany@childreninneedwc.org

And to our community, as you clean out your children’s closets this season, please consider donating those items to Children In Need instead of discarding them. What no longer fits your child could be exactly what another child needs.

Together, we can turn spring cleaning into something truly meaningful.

To get involved or learn more, please reach out to us directly!
