In-Kind Donations


Donations needed for children
For every child who’s adopted, thousands still live in institutions or with families who can’t provide for their basic needs. WACAP is committed to helping as many of these children as we can. Since 1976, we’ve supplied vitamins, health care, medical supplies, toys, clothing and education to more than 200,000 children. We have long-term working relationships with organizations dedicated to children’s welfare. Items donated to WACAP are either given to needy children in the Seattle area or carried to orphanages overseas by traveling WACAP staff and families. We're no longer able to accept donations designated for particular countries, and we can send only new or like-new items, so please keep this in mind when making your donation. WACAP currently needs the following items for children living abroad:
