All unsold items from the sale are donated to charities that specifically serve the needs of children and families. We work with a variety of local, national and international charities which, in turn, give our donated items to needy children and families. Our goal is to donate to charities that provide the items to those in need free-of-charge, rather than those that resell items to support a particular program.
