FREQUENTLY NEEDED ITEMS
Brightside Advocacy works with our community partners such as the Juvenile Court and the Department of Family & Children Services (DFCS) to ensure that children who have experienced abuse or neglect have their needs met. We want each child to know they are not alone and there is a team of adults working behind them. For this reason, we are often in need of the following items:
- Full-size toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, deodorant, and female hygiene products.
- Large duffle bags or gift cards for suitcases for children when they come into care. Due to limited space, we prefer gift cards or foldable duffle bags.
- Gift cards for sporting goods stores, Walmart, Target, etc. to assist with clothing/shoes for athletic participation
- Gift cards to fast food restaurants located near the office (Victory/Skidaway area) to purchase meals for children in the office awaiting placements.
- Doordash or Ubereats gift cards so staff can stay with the children rather than pick up food.
- Multi-racial books for all ages. Child & adult coloring books. Fidget spinners/poppers.
