Donate Goods
Donations Make a Difference
Donations are accepted at the Mansell Place Distribution Center on Tuesdays through Saturdays 10AM - 12:30PM by appointment only. Donations for the resale shop (i.e. furniture, home decor, housewares, collectibles, etc.) should also be brought to the Mansell Place location and will be transported to the resale shop from the FCSF center if it is not used for the children. Important: we cannot accept furniture at this time due to capacity and inventory.
We need in-kind goods of new, like new and gently used items to provide for children. Clothing items below are items that we are the lowest on or almost out of but we take all items of both genders and all sizes to maintain our inventory and serve over 3200 children.

We apologize that we cannot pick up smaller items due to our current staff size. Items can be brought to the FCSF Distribution Center by making an appointment here.
