Spring Cleaning - Donation Drop Off Locations

The truth is that I have a huge empathetic heart. I donate year round to multiple causes during both my cleaning bursts and when a local/global need arises. It's difficult for me to watch the coverage of Haiti on the news much less imagine how all of their people, and especially their children are suffering. If you haven't already please consider donating cash to a charity of your choice to bring aid to Haiti. There is more information below on how to send clthing/products to the children.

Haiti Children's Clothing & Product Donations

Collecting baby supplies for babies and kids in Haiti. They could really use our help. They will ship for free. Subscribe at www.goinspirego.com

PLEASE HELP US NOW! FedEx will ship these items to Haiti for Free. We are looking for slightly used clothing to send to the disadvantaged orphans of Haiti. Together with the other members of GoInspireGo, we are partnering with Lisa of LovedTwice to help in this fundraising. But this is not enough. We need to get clothing and supplies to babies and toddlers, and also to the slightly older children, preferably through age 15.

If you want to help, either leave your email address below and we will contact you, or please subscribe to our website and we will contact you directly that way. We thank you for all your efforts!

Local Children's Clothing Donations
"Kid's Closet"
Contact Lan Wu
Please drop off your donations at my (Lan's) house over this weekend. It's near Ralston and Alameda in Belmont, 400 Live Oak Way Unit 403, Belmont, CA 94002.

We'll be collecting donation for "Kids' Closet", a program by Samaritan House, a private nonprofit organization providing services to help meet the essential daily needs of more than 12,000 low-income people within the San Mateo County. For more information, you can visit http://www.samaritanhouse.com/new/home/index.shtml.

We need new and gently used clothing for children ages newborn through school aged teens. There's no room for stuffed animals at this time, so please save them for another chance. If you have twin-sized blankets/sheets, they are welcome too.

Use this chance to clear out your closets and help a local family in need!

Other Items from your cleaning spurt!

If you have a baby in tow, St Vincent de Paul, Redwood City is a great drop off location. You can pull into their back gate and they have someone readily available to help you unload and to give you a receipt. No need to get your little one out of their carseat. I also recommend The Shelter Network but it can be more difficult to get your donation boxes/bags through the gates at their locations, call in advance for assistance!
