... Children's clothing
We always have need of children's new or used clothing sizes 0 through 10. We run short of boys pants size 3 through 8 faster than most other clothing.

We gratefully acknowledge all the "gently used" clothes and toys that we have received.

For the time being, Kids Kottage will not be accepting gently used In-Kind donations as we are ‘bursting at the seams’!

WE ACCEPT Gift In Kind DONATIONS ON MONDAYS & THURSDAYS BETWEEN 8:30 - 11:30 AM 1:00 - 4:00 PM.

Please consider if you would not feel good about your children wearing the clothes or playing with the toys that make up your donation then Kids Kottage is not a good destination for them either.
