Where to Donate Children’s Clothes in Columbus
An up-to-date starting guide to Columbus organizations accepting children’s clothing donations.
Have a bag of clothes your child has outgrown? First, consider joining Hand Me Forward so the clothes can move directly to another nearby family. If that’s not convenient, these Columbus-area organizations have publicly described clothing donation programs.
Little Bottoms Free Store
Accepts clean, gently used baby/toddler clothing and other essentials. Its donation guidance specifies it cannot accept children’s clothing larger than 5T; it also does not accept used car seats.
Bloom: A Free Store
Accepts gently used items for families with young children. The organization’s newer FAQ lists the Silver Drive donation site.
Bundled With Love
Provides clothing and newborn essentials to Columbus-area moms-to-be. Lists gently used baby clothing through 18 months among accepted items and publishes drop-off options.
United Methodist Free Store
Accepts gently used clothes in infant through adult sizes and distributes goods through a free-store model.
Victory Ministries Center of Hope
Its clothing boutique accepts clean, seasonally appropriate clothing. Its published current-needs list is size-specific; review it before donating.
Dress for Success Columbus
For moms donating their own professional clothing, this organization accepts suitable women’s workwear by its donation guidelines. It is not a kids’ clothing drop-off.
What makes a good hand-me-down?
Give clean, usable, seasonally appropriate clothes without major stains, holes, or broken closures. Check each organization’s requirements for socks, underwear, baby gear and recalled items.
