Donate Essential Items:

Everyday essentials can make a meaningful difference for a mother working to provide for her family. A warm coat, a fresh set of clothes, diapers, hygiene products, school supplies, or household necessities can help meet an immediate need and bring a little more ease to everyday life. By donating new or gently used items to Growth & Guidance Foundation, you can help make sure mothers and children have access to necessities they can use and appreciate.

Sponsor a Family

Make a Meaningful Difference for a Family

Our Sponsor a Family program connects individuals, businesses, and community partners with meaningful opportunities to contribute directly to a mother and her children. Each sponsorship is centered around the family’s identified needs and provides a thoughtful way to make a personal impact.

Sponsorship can help with groceries, clothing, household essentials, school needs, children’s necessities, gift cards, and other immediate needs identified by the family.

How Sponsorship Works
  • Choose to sponsor an available family.
  • Receive a list of the family’s current needs.
  • Shop for some or all of the requested items.
  • Return the items by the provided deadline.
  • Growth & Guidance Foundation will coordinate getting the donations to the family.
Ways You Can Sponsor
  • Sponsor an entire family
  • Sponsor a mother
  • Sponsor a child
  • Purchase items from a family’s needs list
  • Provide grocery or essential-needs gift cards
  • Make a monetary contribution toward a family’s needs

Community & Holiday Drives

Throughout the year, Growth & Guidance Foundation hosts Community & Holiday Drives that bring individuals, businesses, volunteers, and community partners together around the needs of mothers, children, and families.

Our Community Drives provide additional opportunities to give back beyond the holidays. From school supplies and winter clothing to hygiene products, baby essentials, and other everyday necessities, each drive provides an opportunity for the community to come together and give with purpose.

The holidays should be a time of joy, but for families experiencing financial hardship, the season can bring additional stress. Our Holiday Drive helps mothers create special moments for their children while making sure families also have the essentials they need during the season.
