Central PA Non-Profit | Providing for Families in Need

Tiny Tykes Essentials

Serving Families with small children in Central PA.

Tiny Tykes Essentials is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides families in need with shoes and resources for their children. We work with foster agencies, Children and Youth agencies, churches, pregnancy centers, school districts, New Hope Ministries, and other local nonprofits.

100% of your donation goes to those in need.

There are NO salaries, NO rental fees or exorbitant operational expenses. The only fees we incur are for insurance, necessary software to run it, and storage items like shelves and bins.

The closet started in February 2023, and since then we’ve been able to help hundreds of families.

Please follow us on Facebook to see what we’re up to, what our closet is in need of, and upcoming events, including our annual Walk for Families.

donations

We are always accepting donations and appreciate those who have been serving the community in this way.
Please note: Donations of used items should be clean and like-new.

Online donations are made through a software called Zeffy which is 100% free for us to use. When you’re making a donation, you’ll notice they automatically add an additional amount to go to the software platform. To bypass that, select “other” and type in $0 for your donation.

Who we serve

Our mission is to provide essential items to families with small children.

We work with foster families and agencies to support those who are stepping out in faith to help children in need. We provide items for them when they have new placements, and provide shoes, diapers, and other necessities as the child grows.

We also work with local families in need. Diapers are given out on a monthly basis and we provide access to a food pantry through a partnering church.

We work with Naomi’s Closet to provide clothing for children in sizes NB – 8.

Testimonials from those we've had the honor of serving...

Crossroads Closet is a nonprofit who has been overwhelmingly generous in their support of life. They are quick in their response and happy to serve the community. Through Crossroad's Closet young teen moms have received food, baby items and other basic life essentials for themselves as well as their babies. Thank you for your support.

The Closet was a blessing to my family when my daughter's husband left and took items we would need for the baby. We were blessed with a car seat, high chair, and stroller. These items would have put us in a financial bind. Instead, we were able to focus on his care and basics. We are so thankful for the services that were provided.

Crossroads Closet is very dear to my heart. They helped me out when I was most in need. Thank you to them for being so kind and helpful. I appreciate everyone who puts in their time and love to help those in need everyday. They do not judge and most definitely will not turn you away. Crossroads Closet will move mountains in order to help the community. Thank you so much again!
