Non-Monetary In-Kind Gifts

Help children and families with in-demand items!

LCFS is happy to accept many non-monetary/in-kind donations to directly benefit children and families experiencing hardships. Children, families and our front-line staff can use items like diapers and wipes, toothpaste and other toiletry items, socks and undergarments. Please take a look at our Be a Hero flyer to get a list of the items most needed now.

In-Kind Donation Acceptance Policy

LCFS is only able to accept donations of NEW items. Because we have limited storage space and strict guidelines about what we can give to the children and families in our care, please connect with LCFS in advance. If you are making an in-kind donation, please fill out and return the form below so we can provide you with an acknowledgement letter that you can use for tax purposes.

Host an Donation Drive

Year-round, we invite your group or organization to collect needed items for us. Our sites may be in need of diapers, bikes, bedding, or other items and we’d love to discuss ideas. 

Contact Development Coordinator Melissa Gonzalez at Melissa_Gonzalez@lcfs.org 
or 630-352-8036 with questions and if you have something you’re interested in donating.
