What
We Do
Families struggling to pay rent, utilities, and grocery bills often can’t afford the basics their children need every day. At Stepping Stone, we help fill this critical yet overlooked need.
Items for Families
To build an inventory of essentials for families, Stepping Stone depends on donations of new and gently used items from individual donors and grassroots community drives. Our team sorts, cleans, and bundles these items before volunteers deliver them directly to parents, caregivers, and children.
When high-demand necessities — such as strollers and pack 'n plays — run low, we purchase them ourselves, made possible through the generosity of community support and grant funding.
Community Partnerships
To identify children and families in need, we partner with a network of nearly fifty local agencies, shelters, hospitals, and nonprofits. Together, these organizations address the needs of the whole child, offering services such as mental health counseling, early education intervention, at-home wellness visits, and refugee relocation aid.
Through this collaborative network, we help ensure children have access to daily essentials — from diapers and car seats to coats and shoes.
By fostering a cycle of giving, we connect abundance with need, ensuring that no family or child is left behind.
