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 wonderful volunteer, Mary Ellen Waltemire, a very Happy Birthday!

Mary Ellen is one of the many incredible people who help make Children In Need, Inc. such a special place. Whether she's assisting families in our hallways during client service days, sorting clothing donations, or sharing her knowledge and expertise through professional development trainings for our volunteers, staff, and Board of Directors, Mary Ellen is always finding ways to make a difference.

Her dedication extends far beyond the time she gives. She helps us grow as an organization, strengthen our team, and better serve the children and families who depend on us.

Mary Ellen, we are so grateful for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to our mission. We hope your birthday is as wonderful as you are!
