donating used clothing, luggage, or household items

Embrace does not directly accept donations of gently used toys, clothing, furniture, or luggage BUT these items can be very helpful to the families we serve. Instead of warehousing items (and becoming a middle man), we’ve created a platform on social media to connect you (the donor) directly with those in need of what you’re offering. You can post any items you wish to offer for FREE to foster/adoptive/kinship families and foster alumni on The Loop Facebook page.
