Give Joy — Donate Items for Joy Kits & Confidence Kits
You don't have to write a check to change a child's day. Donate new items that go directly into the hands of children who need comfort, courage, and a reminder that someone cares.
Every Item Becomes a Moment of Joy
Every item you donate becomes part of a Joy Kit or Confidence Kit delivered to a child in a moment that truly matters — when they're entering foster care, transitioning between homes, or arriving at Delia's Center for the first time.
Joy Kits go to younger children with sensory and creative items. Confidence Kits go to teens with self-care essentials and affirming messages. Both are distributed in Arizona (foster care) and Bârlad, Romania (Delia's Center).
Below you'll find our most-needed items and how to get them to us.

A Stress Ball. A Journal. A Pair of Socks.
It All Adds Up to Joy.
You don't need to give big to give meaningfully. One item, placed in the right hands at the right moment, can change a child's whole day — and maybe their whole outlook.
