To understand and meet needs, contacting an organization may be helpful. Some may post their requests or wish-lists on their website.

In general, crayon donations may be high,
donations for children age 3-10 may be common,
donations for infants to age 3 may be less common,
donations for teens may be scarce.

Y-E-S!

Thank you for highlighting the nuances of giving to those in need. You're so right.

A monthly devotion will make a world of difference to children. They know if someone is "caring" at Christmas, vs. caring every month of the year. (!!!)

A child KNOWS.
