Our Food Shelves are Empty.
Help Restock the Essentials for Children in Crisis.
Every day, children arrive at Things of My Very Own after experiencing abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or other traumatic circumstances. Most come with little more than the clothes they're wearing, and very often they haven't eaten.
It's Summer and our food shelves are unfortunately empty, but children still need us. Every donation—large or small—helps ensure that when a child arrives in crisis, we can immediately provide comfort, dignity, and hope.
How can you help? One of the biggest questions we've received is why we're asking for financial donations instead of specific food items.
The answer is simple:
✅ We purchase in bulk.
✅ We receive nonprofit pricing.
✅ We can buy exactly what children need.
That means your donation stretches much further than a typical shopping trip.
