Baby and Toddler Items Are Essential to Our Program
At every visit during our three-year program, families select toys, books, clothes, feeding and hygiene supplies, bedding, and equipment for their children. These items provide comfort, support children's development, encourage early literacy, and promote safety — all of which help enrich the critical first three years of life. We depend on donations from the community and corporate partners for 100% of these baby and toddler items.

Send Urgently Needed Items
There are certain items that we need and can only accept new — such as feeding supplies. And there are other items that are always in high demand, like Spanish-language books, toddler clothing, and toys. Purchase these highly needed items off one of our Amazon Wish Lists.
Host a Collection Drive
We make hosting a collection drive easy by providing a toolkit to guide you through each step. If you’re organizing a drive with your workplace, consider asking your company to match your collections with in-kind items or funding.
Set Up a Drop Box
Do you know a business, apartment complex, or school that would be interested in hosting a drop box to collect baby and toddler items? Boxes can be installed temporarily or permanently. As a host, you’ll “manage” the box, coordinate pickup of items, and help promote Room to Grow in your community.
Become a Product Partner
Product partners donate their own inventory directly to Room to Grow. Our partners range from national corporations like Cimilre and UPPAbaby, to thriving new brands like Miles & Milan, and local businesses. Interested in joining this community of philanthropic companies or have a connection for our team to explore? Email allison.russo@roomtogrow.org.
