Things To Consider When Donating
Our goal is for the kids to genuinely feel proud and confident in the items they receive from The Moses Basket. We strive to relieve a source of stress during a time of uncertainty. Please make sure to check toys and clothing for stains, holes, and wear before donating.

 

  • We cannot accept clothing with “mommy” or “daddy” or other familial text on it.
  • Whether it be preparing your own home for school supplies or Christmas shopping, please consider picking up a few extra items and donating. Our hope is to not only assist families with placement, but to be a resource for back to school, birthdays, Christmas, graduation, etc.

Donate to The Moses Basket

The Moses Basket provides clothing and items for those circumstances when families are welcoming a new child into their home. Once receiving notice of a potential placement, a family may only have hours before the child arrives. At The Moses Basket, we feel this time of transition should be devoted to preparing their hearts and minds for a new member, and not worrying about the items and supplies needed. It is our goal to make this area of transition an afterthought and not an obstacle. Packaged and delivered in under 48 hours, we strive to provide a quick resource to get families started. We graciously accept supplies, clothing, and other goods for newborns through high school age. Grades 4th-8th (ages 9-13) tend to be the those with the highest need according to our social workers. If you would like to help but don’t have items to donate we also accept monetary donations which will allow us to purchase new items for families in need.
