STOCKING DRIVE
STOCKING OUR SHELVES!
The Stocking Drive helps Midlands Orphan Relief prepare for the year ahead by filling our shelves with new clothing, hygiene items and other essentials used in Care Kits.
When a child experiences displacement or instability due to abuse, abandonment or neglect, even basic items can suddenly be missing. The items we collect during the Stocking Drive helps make sure we are ready with clean clothes, personal care items and other essentials when a child needs them.
Our goal is to collect enough to help stock our shelves for the coming year. What you give today can become part of a Care Kit a child receives tomorrow.

Important Guidelines:
We kindly ask that you keep the following in mind:
-
Follow our regular donation guidelines, these are the items we pack in our care kits
-
We do not accept donations of toys
-
Instead of gifts cards, please donate monetarily
-
Holiday themed clothing is fun, but these children need the ability to wear the items you purchase for several months. We suggest avoiding clothes with designs including Santa Clause, Frosty, Rudolph, etc.
-
The deadline for dropping off your items is December 17th.
