In collaboration with WDIV Local 4 News, The Children’s Center of Wayne County is hosting a donation drive to support children and families in foster care. Many children enter foster care with little to no belongings of their own—together, we can change that.

On March 18th, WDIV Local 4 will join us to collect much-needed items, including:

  • New large/X-large duffle bags
  • Gently used luggage (wheeled with telescoping handles)
  • New socks and underwear (all sizes)
  • New hygiene essentials (see full list below)

How You Can Help

  • Join Us on March 18th – Bring your donations and help us make an impact
