Below is a list alphabetical by state of all of our chapter members and what they collect. You donate by sending them an email and they respond with their contact information.
SAFE accepts all sizes and styles of new and gently used stuffed animals. Examples include Beanie Babies, Webkins, and Disney just to name a few. All stuffed animals must be 'like new', clean, free from stains and tears, and need to be appropriate to be given to a child in an emergency. SAFE will also accept homemade stuffed animals as long as they are durable, clean, and do not have any parts that could be a choking hazard.
Besides stuffed animals, SAFE also accepts new and gently used children's books, coloring books and crayons, children's blankets, children's clothes, and baby items. All items must be clean, in great shape, and free of stains and tears. Chapters choose what they can accept so please contact a chapter to see what they are able to take.
SAFE does not accept battery-operated stuffed animals, toys, or dolls.
Please give the chapter member at least a week to respond to your email. If after a week you have not heard from them, please send an email to help@safe-inc.org and I will contact the chapter member to find out if they received your email.
The chapters list below are the only chapters SAFE currently has available. We are always adding more chapters so please stay up to date with SAFE by subscribing to our newsletter on the front page of the site, checking out our social media pages, or just checking back on this page periodically. If you are willing to clean any gently used donations though, please visit our Urgent Needs and/or Drives pages for more info on how you can help.

No, SAFE does not sell the donations or give any of the donations to organizations or other nonprofits who might sell the donations. Our chapter members locate places where the donations are given directly to children and donate there.
