Stuffed Animals For Emergencies (SAFE) is a 13-year-old non-profit organization run completely by volunteers. They collect various items such as stuffed animals, toys, books and baby blankets to benefit children during emergency situations such as fires, illness, accidents, neglect, abuse, homelessness and even weather emergencies such as tornadoes, floods and hurricanes. SAFE also donates the items they receive to other childrens organizations, military organizations, libraries and even nursing homes.
Stuffed Animals For Emergencies accepts new and gently used items for donation. This is a great way to reuse and recycle stuffed animals, toys, books and baby blankets that so many people have in their homes and just don't know what to do with. When they receive donations, the items are sorted and cleaned to freshen them up a bit and then donate them to emergency organizations to be given directly to children in emotional, traumatic or stressful situations. Your donation can really make a difference for a child when they need it most!
Currently SAFE has 34 chapters throughout the United States, Canada and Central America. Please visit the 'chapters' page to find a chapter in your area. If you are unable to find a chapter in your area, please go to our 'How To Donate' page for information and also you can find out how to open a chapter in your area! SAFE is currently looking to expand worldwide so your donation can impact a child in your own community, no matter where you live. If you are interested in opening a chapter in your country, province or state and it is not listed on our 'Chapters' page, again please check out our 'Opening A Chapter' page for more information!
