Host a Drive or Donate to our Wish List

You can help those in need by donating or hosting a donation drive to collect basic need items for the children, youth and families in programs. Consider collecting items at your office, home or social group, or sending an email to friends. Your efforts, no matter how big or small, are creating a positive impact in our community. We kindly ask that all donated items be brand new.

If you would like to organize a donation drive or have purchased items from our Wish List, please contact Emilia Alcantar to schedule a drop off time at Emilia.Alcantar@childcrisisaz.org or (480) 834-9424.

Amazon Wish List

In order to meet the growing needs of our community, we have categorized the most requested items to help support children, youth and families in need.

Seasonal: Fall

This Family Literacy Month, help us make a difference by donating to our fall drive! Through our Gobble Up a Good Book event, young adults and families in our programs will receive Thanksgiving food boxes and have the chance to “shop” for books to grow their home libraries. Your support can bring the joy of literacy and warmth to these families during the holiday season.

Books to Consider:

  • Soft books and board books for children ages 0-5
  • Multi-cultural books to reflect the diversity of the community
  • Books in Spanish for Spanish-speaking households

We kindly ask that books are brand new, non-religious, family-appropriate books. Purchase books directly through our Amazon Wish List:
