Clothing

We accept gently used, school-appropriate clothing, including larger sizes for middle and high school children. Please contact Nancy Bowling for details.

Socks & Undies

We need sizes for boys and girls in Kindergarten through senior high, which includes adult sizes. Please no white briefs or tube socks! Contact Anita Geoghagan for details.

Shoes

If you have a connection with a shoe manufacturer, please let us know! Our desire is to provide each child with a new pair of sneakers.

Hygiene Items

Toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss to be given children who receive a dental screening. If your group would like to assemble special gift bags for the moms, we'd suggest hand lotions, deodorants, soaps and other toiletry items.

Office Supplies

Our goal is to spend 100% of our financial donations directly on the children. To help us do that, we need donations of copy paper and copying services, postage, posters and markers, etc.

Party Supplies

We could use donations of balloons, paper plates, cups, napkins and cutlery for lunch.

Financial Donations

Each year during the weeks before our event, we go shopping to fill in the gaps between what we've received in donations and what we'll need on the day of our event. Your financial contribution will help us purchase extra supplies, socks and undies, food for lunch and other necessities. Donations can be mailed to Give a Kid a Chance - Cherokee, Inc., Liberty Hill UMC, P.O. Box 196, Canton, GA 30169.
