Loved Twice is based in Oakland and a lovely organization. Loved Twice will take 0 to 12 month baby clothes to give to low income and homeless women giving birth in local hospitals: Andi I believe most of those items are also given directly to families in need, those at the homeless shelter and in the neighborhood.

#Best place to donate clothes in bay area full#
I have about four boxes full of baby and toddler clothes I would like to donate.
Twin by the Bay has a preemie leaning program. Most twins are born early and small, so your donation would be much appreciated. Twins By The Bay has a loaner program for preemie clothing. The hospitals will not take them, I tried. I would really like to find a place/person that NEEDS preemie clothes. I have had 2 preemies, a boy and a girl, and have quite a few preemie clothes in great condition. You can also trade them for boxes of larger clothing on this site: Beth Here is the website: and the phone number is 51 BeryleĪny good recs for where to donate used baby clothes beyond Goodwill? Amyĭrop off locations include Cool Tops Cuts for Kids in Rockridge. I take my children to donate our clothing, toys, sundries, and extra art supplies there, and the staff, and residents are always very warm, and gracious. They often have women with babies, and young children and not only provide food, shelter, and clothing but also direct their residents to case management to help them with education, job training, transitional housing, and sobriety programs, as needed.
Unlike many of the neighboring areas, in Richmond there are very few options for the most disenfranchised of our community, and BARM time, and again makes room, when there isn't really any. They support both a men's shelter, and a women's & children's shelter which are ALWAYS in need. Thanks!įor baby gear and diapers - try Brighter Beginnings () anonĪs a social worker in Richmond I recommend the Bay Area Rescue Mission in the 'flatlands' of Richmond. Any recommendations for local organizations who could use these items would be greatly appreciated. I know there have been great suggestions here in the past, but I'm having a hard time tracking them down. I'd really like to donate them to a local organization - perhaps a women's shelter, or a home for single/struggling mothers. In the midst of Spring cleaning and organization, I'm finding myself with a surplus of diapers, toys, unused calling cards, jars of baby food, etc. So your items will really benefit parents in need. Everyone is welcome to come (even if they have nothing to donate). You are welcome to donate your items now and we will hold them till the day of the event. The Golden Gate Branch Library in Oakland will be hosting a kids clothing, equipment and toy swap in April.
Their profits benefit the Oakland Children's Hospital and they are not overly selective about the items (just no stained or ripped clothing). love the white elephant sale!ĭonate to Bambino Thrift shop on College Avenue in Oakland (near Broadway). Supporting a wonderful cause - Oakland Museum of CA. But you need to get there quickly - off Fuitvale, in Oakland but close to Alameda. BANANAS has been my go-to place in the past, but they were not very helpful this time around, so I'm looking for other suggestions. Preference is somewhere in Oakland, but I can travel to Berkeley/Richmond/Emyerville on the weekends. We are ready to pass along our baby gear and I am having a hard time finding a place that will take it - and the archives are out of date. I am looking for suggestions of an organization that is currently accepting donations of (gently) used infant/toddler clothes, toys, and other gear (bottles, sippies, slings, etc.).
