In-Kind Donations

In-kind donations help Child Guidance Center support children, youth, veterans and families throughout Orange County while reducing program expenses and enhancing special events. Whether you're donating items for families in need, program supplies, or auction packages for our annual Holiday Tree Fantasy fundraiser, your generosity makes a meaningful difference.

Please Contact Us Before Donating

Because we have limited storage space across our clinic locations, we are unable to accept all donated items at all times. We kindly ask that donors contact us before delivering physical items so we can confirm current needs and arrange for timely distribution.

To discuss an in-kind donation, please contact Chris Huyett at chuyett@cgcinc.org or 714-953-4455 ext. 626

Thank you for helping us bring hope, healing, and opportunity to the children and families we serve.
