Donate What You Have

As of the 2019 census, 17% of Orlando residents are living in poverty.

One Heart for Women and Children provides the critical resources and items for individuals and families as they rise out of poverty. Eligible clients in need receive necessary items and items from the thrift store as needed. Through the Volunteer for Vouchers program, for every hour volunteered, participants will receive a voucher to be used in exchange for clothing, household items and other goods. The sales from the thrift store help support the overhead and costs associated with feeding our neighbors.

While we are unable to sell some donated items in the thrift store, we are able to repurpose them in the community to those who desperately need them and cannot afford them. We appreciate your donation of any size.
