HOST A DRIVE

We encourage corporations, churches, schools, community clubs, and friends to work together and organize a drive to benefit our children. Did you know each week we use 75 boxes of cereal and wash 200 loads of laundry!

  • Make it a fun contest between employees or students as to who can collect the most items.
  • At your next holiday party or social gathering host a collection of gift cards for a fun outing like going to the movies.
  • For more ideas, click here.

Items needed include gift cards for restaurants or fun outings, food for our pantry, cleaning supplies, new clothes and shoes.

For more information please call Gabrielle Okun at 813-381-3839 or email [email protected]

For abused and neglected children living in foster care, birthdays and holidays can be an especially difficult time. A Kid’s Place provides gifts and food for the holidays as well as for milestones and special occasions for the children in our care.

We are collecting toys and gifts to make holiday wishes come true for foster children who will be spending Christmas at A Kid’s Place as well as foster children from all over the greater Tampa Bay area. Shop from our Amazon wish list or our Most Popular gifts.

Deadline for dropping gifts is no later than December 11th, 2023. Please bring gifts unwrapped.

Drop off location is 1715 Lithia Pinecrest Rd, Brandon, FL 33511
