Our Mission

Caring for Kids is a nonprofit organization that aims to help impoverished children in Westchester County. There are hundreds of kids in the community that struggle for basic necessities that we take for granted everyday.

We collect and distribute clothes, toys, and school supplies to underprivileged children across the county through various organizations. However, we lack the quantity to make a significant difference, but with your help, our vision can become a reality. We believe that if we want a change, we have to become the change.

Even a small act of generosity can make a huge impact in these kids’ life. We want to make giving easy for you. We ask that you gather gently used clothes, toys, and school supplies, and leave them in bags outside your home. Then, contact us through the form below to schedule a pick-up time that works for you. We will collect your donations and drop them off at our various locations, along with notifying you when your donation has been received.

What Can I Donate?

To setup a pickup date, please fill out this form. We ask that if you choose a date on a weekday that it be after 4PM. Simply leave your donation bags at a visible location from the street and we will come pick it up during the day.

Nirvaan, Tanisee, and Brady are a group of community driven teenagers from Westchester, New York, who are committed to making a positive impact in the community. Through COVID-19, we have become more aware of the circumstances of other families and children. We are very grateful that our families have not been severely affected during these times, but we feel as if positive action on our end is the least we can do. Volunteering has been hard through these unprecedented times, but we want to make a change for the underprivileged. In many cases, we have found that others want to help and donate, but they don’t know how or where. We want everyone to come together and contribute to our community, which has led us to start Caring For Kids, where all donations come from the community for the community.
