Give only what is ready to use.
Clothes, toys and books should be clean, sanitized, in very good condition and free from odors.
Give practical support
Turn practical goods into meaningful support.
Food, school supplies, hygiene essentials, clothing and other in-kind gifts can help Project PEARLS respond to the daily realities children and families face.
DONATE WITH DIGNITY
In-kind donations, shared with care.
Clothes, toys and books can bring real joy and practical support to children and families. The most meaningful gifts are clean, useful and chosen with dignity.
Please coordinate before sending or delivering items, so the team can confirm the most useful items and the best handover plan.
COORDINATE A DONATIONA SIMPLE GUIDE
Before you donate.
These six checks help make every in-kind donation useful, respectful and ready for its next home.
Choose with care.
Please check clothing for stains, holes and other defects. If you would happily offer it to someone in your own family, it is likely ready to share.
Keep our community in mind.
Please avoid winter clothes, formal attire or clothing that is not appropriate for the local culture and weather.
Leave out undergarments.
We do not accept donated undergarments.
Choose books that open doors.
We accept educational books, including textbooks, storybooks and age-appropriate novels for children and young people up to age 18.
Share with dignity and love.
Every item should help a child or family feel seen, respected and supported.
