Share Our Spare is a donation-based organization that collects and distributes (newborn to age 5) essentials to families in need in the Chicagoland area. As volunteers, we will quality-check donations, and sort and bundle children’s clothing, books, toys, and small baby gear items. We will also help pack diaper orders for diaper pick-up days.

Age Requirement: 6yrs+ with the supervision of a parent

All volunteers register for the session using the link below. Parents must register all their children attending the event. The registration link also includes information about parking, recommended attire, and access to our space.

Share Our Spare would appreciate it if you bring a used donation of children’s clothing, books, or small gear items (bassinets, strollers, pack-n-plays) or a brand new donation of bottles, diapers, wipes, or baby hygiene items (diaper rash creams, soaps, and lotions).
