Your network might be your co-workers, Girl Scout Troop, synagogue or school, and you are joining together to provide tangible goods like diapers, clothing, shoes and more!

Drive FAQS
Q: Should I donate goods or cash? Which is more helpful?
A: We greatly appreciate donations of both goods and cash and rely on both to meet the need in our community! We can use cash donations to purchase goods for prices less than retail, so we can make your dollars stretch. By collecting goods, you are starting important discussions about needs with your friends, family or co-workers, helping to build a world where all children are healthy, safe and prepared to build their own futures.
Q: Can I donate used goods?
A: Yes! We accept quality used goods. That means no rips, stains, holes or dirty donations. Ask yourself, “Would I dress my own child or grandchild in it?” If the answer is yes, donate it! If the answer is no, please find the item another home. (Goods donated are given directly to local children.)
Some items we cannot accept used, such as hygiene items and formula. We can accept open packages of unused diapers.
Q: Is it necessary that I register my Community Drive?
A: Yes! Signing up for your drive keeps staff and volunteers informed about all the amazing drives going on in our community and helps us to provide you with the support you need to run a successful community drive.
Q: When can I drop off my donations?
A. You can drop off Community Drive goods by prior arrangement at our Central Hub in Issaquah, WA. For donation deliveries at our West Sound (Bremerton) and Shoreline (Shoreline) Hubs, please email Tricia at communitydrives@kidvantagenw.org to schedule a drop-off.
