A sweater a child has outgrown. A picture book read one too many times. Toys that once ruled the living room floor, now sitting untouched. As homes prepare for the festive season, many of these items wait for a second life.

Across Indian cities, thousands of children still go without books to read, clothes to keep them warm, or toys that spark imagination. When gently used items find new hands, they carry comfort, curiosity, and care along with them.

Today, we bring together trusted NGOs and drop-off points across India where you can donate children’s toys, books, and clothes this December, and make the season a little brighter for someone else.

Goonj runs 57 donation acceptance centres across 15 states in India. You can drop off clothes, toys, books and other usable items, which are then distributed to rural and underserved communities. 

You can find a full list of nationwide drop-off centres here.
