Thank you for your interest in supporting our youth and young adults with an in-kind donation. The Relatives relies on the generosity of people just like you to help supply the young people we serve with basic necessities.  

Every young person served by The Relatives is treated with dignity and compassion. To ensure their needs are appropriately met, please review our in-kind donation guidelines below: 

  • If you would not give the items you are interested in donating to a young person in your life, then please reconsider donating them to the young people served by The Relatives 
  • Please ensure donated items are seasonally appropriate and age-appropriate for young people ages 7-24
