🍼 Donation guidelines ↗

Room to Grow takes new or good-condition gear for newborns through age 3 — toys, tubs, potties, play mats and exersaucers — at its Boston warehouse. This is a donation drive rather than a volunteer shift, which makes it the easiest thing on this list to do this week.

It has one advantage as a first act of giving: a preschooler can choose which of their own outgrown things to pass on, carry them in, and understand exactly where they went. Read the current accepted-items list on their site before you load the car — condition standards matter here.

Frequently asked questions

What does Room to Grow accept?

New or good-condition gear for newborns through age 3 — including toys, tubs, potties, play mats and exersaucers.

Is this volunteering or a donation?

It is a donation drive: you bring items to the Boston warehouse rather than working a volunteer shift.

Can children take part?

Yes — choosing and handing over their own outgrown items is a good first act of giving for a young child. Check the accepted-items list first, since condition standards apply.
