GiveNKind Centers
GiveNKind operates Centers in Mundelein, IL and Carlisle, PA, where we intake new goods from businesses and distributors and gently used items from individuals. Registered nonprofits come to GiveNKind Centers and select items they need to support their programs and operations free of charge.
Gently used items include clothing, linens and towels, kitchenware (pots, pans, dishes, utensils), and toys. Large lot items have included athletic wear, swimwear, sandals, food, craft supplies, books, health and beauty products and so much more.
We give these items a second life helping our community while keeping usable items out of our area landfills.
What People Say About Us
Nonprofit Testimonials
When GiveNKind announced the availability of large insulating tarps, Inner Voice recognized this opportunity to both help people and the environment. Rather than ending up in a landfill, the tarps were picked up by Inner Voice team members and brought to a tent city, where they were put to immediate use by grateful recipients. Inner Voice coordinated with other nonprofits to distribute tarps across the city. We are so grateful to GiveNkind and its network of donors for making the City a little bit warmer.
Carol A. Mjoseth, Director of DevelopmentInner Voice, Illinois 
Thank you GivenKind for everything you do! With the tea we received we plan to create some special baskets for a group of seniors that we serve. We are also working with our local senior rec center and senior living complex to make baskets for their residents as well. Thank you again, you guys rock!
Leslie Wooten, Founder/PresidentWith A Servant’s Heart, Texas 
Thank you so much to GiveNKind for your kindness and for partnering with our work! The process for receiving donations is so easy and straightforward and we are grateful for all you are doing. Thank you for caring for all those whom you touch through your work.

We're happy to share a picture from today's feeding and the care packages we put together using the teeth whitening strips. We'll be distributing the tea in on our Thanksgiving baskets. Thank you!
Melissa CabbilLunch Box of Love, Texas 
Thanks to GiveNKind and the amazing donations we have received we have been able to help SO many people! We've taken boxes of socks to shelters. The day before Thanksgiving we picked up 15 CASES of hand warmers! I know that if it hadn't been for GiveNKind we would not have been able to donate over 600 bags in the last year! We cannot thank all of you enough for all of your help and support.

Every year, we host a Holiday Gift Program in which nearly 200 of our families who would otherwise not be able to buy gifts for the holidays are able to participate. Though we try to include all the family members, many parents do not get sponsored. GiveNKind's donation of good-quality makeup went a long way to giving moms something special for the holidays. Plus, teachers from a local school bought makeup bags and coordinated their own volunteer project by filling the bags with the makeup. It helped to make an awesome gift.
