Charity Partners
Moms of McHenry County and KidStuff Resale is proud to partner with several local charities.
We support them through volunteering, supporting their events, organizing items, monetary donations, and encouraging their mission.
During KidStuff Resale, sellers have the option to mark their items for donation. Several of our charity partners are recipients of these items, keeping their donation local and further helping our community. Admission fee to KidStuff Resale is 100% donated to local food pantries.
If your charity is interested in partnering with Moms of McHenry County & KidStuff Resale, please email our Outreach Coordinator Nicole at kidstuffresaledonations@gmail.com
KidStuff Resale has worked with:
Blessing Barn – Crystal Lake
The heart of Blessing Barn is to provide basic life needs to individuals and/or families who cross our path. Blessing Barn oversees the collection and distribution of donated goods. Together, with the generosity of the community, we will provide a higher quality of life for our recipients.
Second Bridge is our resource program for caregivers, social workers and organizations working with children. We have a distribution center filled with clothing and supplies that our families are invited to shop at free of charge. If our families or organization representatives cannot make it to us, we also offer delivery of items needed. Our program also assists with birthdays, school supplies, winter gear and much more.
The Giving Closet of McHenry County was brought to life by three friends, who are also moms, and understand how quickly the cost of baby and kid items can add up. We are here to provide these items to individuals in our community, free of charge.
Established in 2016, we strive on educating the public and enriching the lives of those living with rare and/or complex medical conditions. Riddick’s Ride first originated in 2014 as a community based fundraiser for a boy named Riddick who had a rare chromosome deletion and severe complex medical needs. Riddick passed away in 2015 on his 3rd birthday, March 29 from a respiratory virus and ARDS. A promise to Riddick made by his parents was to continue Riddick’s Ride in his honor, helping others to better the quality of their lives. Riddick forever changed our lives for the better and taught us that everyone has a purpose in this world.
