STOCKING DRIVE
STOCKING OUR SHELVES!
Lowcountry Orphan Relief's Stocking Drive presents a valuable opportunity for the community to give back and make a significant impact in the lives of children suffering from abuse and neglect. By participating, you help transform the lives of these vulnerable children, providing them with essential items that can bring comfort and hope during difficult times.
The goal of the Stocking Drive is to stock our shelves with new clothing and other necessities to be packed into care kits. We aim to collect enough items to sustain us throughout the entire year, ensuring that each child in need receives the support and resources they require to thrive. Your involvement in this drive not only helps fulfill immediate needs but also contributes to long-term stability and care for these children.

Important Guidelines:
We kindly ask that you keep the following in mind:
-
Follow our regular donation guidelines, these are the items we pack in our care kits
-
We do not accept donations of toys
-
Instead of gifts cards, please donate monetarily

Holiday themed clothing is fun, but these children need the ability to wear the items you purchase for several months. We suggest avoiding clothes with designs including Santa Clause, Frosty, Rudolph, etc.
