Host a Clothing Collection or Drive

Turn Your Community Into Care
In 2025 alone, Gently Hugged delivered $276,930 in essential baby items to families in need. Every collection, drive, and donation helps make this impact possible.
Hosting a clothing drive is a simple and meaningful way to support babies and families across San Diego County. Whether you’re part of a business, school, faith community, workplace, or group of friends, you can collect essential baby clothes and items that directly support local families.

Host a Clothing Drive
Organizing a clothing drive is a great way to bring people together around a shared purpose. Daycare centers, preschools, places of worship, workplaces, and community groups are all wonderful settings for collecting baby clothing and essentials.
We will support you with helpful materials such as flyers, posters, and collection bins. Most drives run for one to two weeks and are easy to plan, while creating a meaningful impact for families in need.
Host a Baby Shower for Gently Hugged
Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate? Host a baby shower with a purpose and help collect new baby clothes and essentials for Gently Hugged care bundles.
Invite friends, family, coworkers, or your community to bring new baby items instead of traditional gifts. It’s a joyful way to celebrate while helping fill care bundles for local families.


Sponsor a Donation Bin
Invite your customers or community to give back by hosting a Gently Hugged donation bin at your location. This works especially well for businesses and spaces frequented by young families.
We make it easy. We provide the bin and handle regular pickups, typically at least once per week or whenever needed. Your space becomes a convenient and trusted place for others to donate and make a difference.
