There are many ways that individuals or companies can provide support to Stepping Stones:

direct contributions

fundraisers

We really limit the number of fundraisers we do because we do not want to overwhelm our families. We have hosted two Craft Shows, celebrated our 30th anniversary with a 5K Race/Fun Walk Fundraiser, and an Easter Flower Sale. We are open to new ideas, and have found that our most successful endeavors become traditions!

While we always appreciate monetary donations, we realize it isn’t always easy to give financially. So we also welcome gently used toys your children have outgrown, as well as strollers, pack-and-plays, or most anything child-related. Rocking chairs are popular in our infant rooms and microwaves are a hot item in our kitchens. If you are ready to discard anything that could be of value to us, please ask your Site Director… you just might help all of us. We can coordinate pick-up of large items.

united way

Stepping Stones is proud to participate in the United Way Contributor’s Choice program. This means you can guide your United Way donations directly to Stepping Stones. If you are already giving to the United Way, please consider designating “Charity # 285” when you re-enroll at next year’s campaign.Those contributions are greatly appreciated and funds are used to provide scholarships to families facing temporary hardship so that their children may continue to have safe and reliable childcare.  Ask us about scholarships and available funds.

We always appreciate our families sharing their time and talents with us. Our staff and teachers would welcome a helping hand on updates and improvements to our locations, special guest readers, or any other way that you can be a part of our programs. While we welcome any expertise, experience has shown anybody with a determined spirit will work for us. Please ask your Site Director about clearances for volunteers and  how you can get involved in their next project.

Thrift Donations

We are proud to support The Paralyzed Veterans of America [Keystone Chapter] by providing a collection bin in the rear parking lot of the Main Children's Center.  Please consider donating your gently used clothes, shoes, and household items!
