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.

Please join us in wishing our very own Martha Hoffman a very Happy Birthday today!

Martha is one of those incredible volunteers who brings so much heart to Children In Need, Inc.! Twice a week, she generously gives her time to help process clothing donations alongside her son, Jair, ensuring that children throughout Washington County have access to the clothing they need.

Martha doesn't just volunteer her time. She breathes life into our mission through her kindness, dedication, and genuine love for helping others. We are so fortunate to have both her and Jair as part of our Children In Need family!

Happy Birthday, Martha! We hope your day is filled with as much joy and love as you bring to those around you!

A HUGE thank you to Dwayne and Cheryl Miller for stopping by Children In Need, Inc. today with an incredible donation of 214 winter coats for our kiddos!

That's 214 children who will have a warm coat to wear to school, helping them start their day comfortable, confident, and ready to learn!

As temperatures continue to drop and the need for winter clothing grows, donations like this make an enormous difference for the children and families we serve throughout Washington County.

Dwayne and Cheryl, thank you for your generosity, compassion, and commitment to making sure children in our community have what they need. Every year they donate jackets to our kiddos and we could not be more grateful.
