Can you list the brands that you’d accept ? Could it be hand me downs that I got from someone else but it’s still in nice condition?

Yes, as long as they are in good condition and current.
We don't have exclusions with what brands etc. Just wanted to help people that want to dress their children a certain way but find it difficult. If the clothing is up to date (not 5 years old)then we accept it. We are trying to help a certain population.

Interesting. In my not in the USA area - people give their nice clothes to friends. I guess communities are so segregated that the ones with the nice clothes don't know the ones without.

People are embarrassed to ask for hand me downs or accept hand me downs but would be thrilled if someone else set it up. We got lots of requests already..if anyone has 18-24m boys to pass on a lot of people seem to need that size

I think OP is saying she is looking for the Jewish brands/looks. So it could be less expensive from tottini but the Jewish style, or more expensive stores and brands too. Hatzlacha op!

I think this is an absolutely fabulous idea! IyH I will be donating! As someone who understands the desire for my kids to be dressed in European clothing but wasn’t always able to afford it, I’m so happy I have a channel to pass down their beautiful stuff that no longer fits. For those of you who don’t understand this please don’t throw tomatoes! We’re hours before Tisha B’Av let’s focus on the chesed involved here bringing Simcha to yiddishe mammas who get an extra boost of nachas seeing their kids dressed just so.

Where is this stuff going now? Aren't you already giving to a gmach or another family? Asking seriously, I don't understand.

My neighbor sends it to Israel and distributes amongst her family there. I think this is a great idea for local mothers who have an appreciation for dressing their kids well and want to see their kids outfitted in a way that brings them happiness. I know for myself I have an eye for fashion and design, but wasn’t always able to afford the clothing I wanted for my kids. This is a beautiful initiative!

thank you OP for starting this.
Should we wait to hear back from you or touch base in a few weeks/months if we don't hear back?
