Your Support Means the World

Your support makes an immediate, real difference for children in our community. A monetary donation to Children In Need, Inc. helps us purchase essential items that aren’t always donated—like underwear, socks, shoes, and season-appropriate clothing.

Every dollar goes directly toward meeting urgent needs and supporting families facing hardship right now. Please consider making a gift today and be part of the community that shows up for children when they need it most.

Big news, bookworms and toy treasure hunters! Our friends at 2nd & Charles and Books-A-Million are hosting a toy and book drive for Children In Need, Inc.! It’s the perfect way to make a big impact this holiday season!

You can purchase items directly in-store and donate them on the spot. Every gift helps us stock up for Frosty Fest, where our kiddos will get to choose something brand-new and full of joy.

Thanks to the community’s generosity (and these two amazing stores), we were able to distribute over 2,000 new toys and books last year. Let’s turn the page and make this year an even brighter chapter for our kids!

Please consider picking up an item during your next visit! Your kindness helps us share warmth, wonder, and a whole lot of smiles.

A huge thank you to Donna Louzon for stopping by Children In Need, Inc. this past week with a wonderful donation of brand-new jackets for our kiddos!

As the temperatures continue to drop, warm winter clothing is one of the most important necessities we can provide to the children we serve. Donations like Donna's help us ensure that more children in our community can stay warm, comfortable, and ready for the colder months ahead.

Donna, thank you for thinking of our kiddos and for helping us make a difference, one jacket at a time! We are so grateful for your kindness and generosity!
