We are asking for donations of $50 gas gift cards to help a local mother who is currently involved with Children and Youth Services as she works to meet her child's extensive medical needs. Her child has a genetic disorder that requires frequent appointments with multiple specialists. In order to ensure that she can meet her child's needs, she had to leave her job and is now facing a financial hardship. Your generosity will help remove one barrier so this mother can focus on what matters most-caring for her child.
Westmoreland County Children's Bureau's Hygiene Closet
Medium
Overdue
**Update as of 5/19/26: We are still just completely blown away by all of your help! We did receive a second cabinet which we are working on filling! I continue to keep our Amazon wish list updated to reflect our current needs. As always, please reach out to me with any questions you may have! Your support will help so many families, children, and youth we serve!
**Update as of 5/1/2026: We cannot even begin to thank everyone that has helped us to get this project off the ground!! We have received so much more than we ever imagined and will be able to help our families and children with a lot of their needs. So much so that we are in need of another cabinet, which I have put on our Amazon list. We did receive one (THANK YOU!), but we are actually in need of another. It does not have to be the one listed, just something similar and it does not need to be new, it can be used. We just ask that it locks and has a key. Additionally, I have kept the Amazon list updated to reflect our other current needs as well, so we are staying on top of it. Again, I am so excited to see this project taking shape and cannot express how thankful we are for your generosity.**
The Westmoreland County Children's Bureau has started a Hygiene Closet, and we need your help stocking it. We are seeking donations of hygiene products. Many of the families involved with CYS experience financial hardship and instability. Basic hygiene products—items many of us use every day without a second thought—are often difficult for them to consistently access. Having reliable access to these essentials not only supports physical health but also promotes dignity, confidence, and overall well-being for children and caregivers alike. This need is ongoing as we need to sustain the closet long-term.
We are currently seeking donations of NEW, UNOPENED, FULL-SIZED, MEN'S-WOMEN'S-AND KIDS' hygiene products. We are also seeking donations of a lockable storage cabinet for us to put the products in as well as small baskets to put the items in for better organization.
We made an Amazon wish list just to give an idea of what we are looking for, but you by no means need to purchase off the list or purchase the brands on the list. It's just a guide.
We can meet you in the community for drop-off, you can drop it off at our office or mail it to our office. Whichever is more convenient for you! I can be reached by email at dbinda@westmorelandcountypa.gov or by phone (call or text) at 724-989-3377.
Aging out youth in need of furnishings and household items
Medium
Overdue
After overcoming challenges and working hard toward independence, one of our older youth has officially moved into their very own apartment as they transition out of foster care. This is an exciting new chapter filled with hope, opportunity, and the promise of a bright future.
While they now have a place to call home, they are still in need of basic furnishings and household items to help turn their apartment into a comfortable, welcoming space.
As a community, we have the opportunity to remind this young person that they are not alone. A donated item can help transform an empty apartment into a home filled with comfort and dignity
If you would like to support this youth by donating, please review the Amazon wish list.
Together, we can help ensure that this next chapter begins with the support, encouragement, and sense of belonging every young adult deserves.
We are requesting 10 $25 Gift cards to Sam clubs that makes a total of $250. The requested $250 Sam’s Club gift card will be used to purchase food items in bulk for the Emergency Food Program, which is designed to assist children and families facing an urgent need for food. Purchasing inventory at one time will allow us to establish an organized system for managing inventory, tracking expiration dates, and maintaining food safety standards while ensuring food is readily available for those who need immediate assistance.
