Donations
In-Kind Donations
Young Parents Network accepts donations of new or gently used baby items, clothes, toys, equipment and furniture. All items will be used at the We Care Shop for distribution to participants, unless there is a known immediate need for an item.
What is the We Care Shop?
The We Care Shop is a community outreach project which benefits participants of the programs of Young Parents Network. This incentive project supplies much needed items to participants who 'earn' points in a variety of ways, ie: participating in group night. These points are then exchanged for items that are typically difficult for participants to purchase on their own.
How do I donate items?
Every effort will be made to adhere to the donor's wishes regarding the donation, if those have been specified. Each donor will receive a donor card for personal tax purposes, however, the value amount will be left up to the discretion of the donor. All donated items are of great value to the families that YPN serves.
All donations will be processed through the main office located at:
-
722 5th Ave. SE in Cedar Rapids, IA.
-
You may drop off items during normal business hours of 8:00am - 4:00pm
Common Needs
Please no used car seats or breast pumps. Cribs must meet newer guidelines of slats being no more than 2 3/8", (if a pop can fits through, the slats are too big).
