Moving day is almost here!

GLAM will packing, prepping, and moving our operation Friday May 12th through Sunday May 21st. 

Beginning Friday May 12th, GLAM will be closed to the public. We will reopen tentatively on June 5th at our new location for pickups and drop-offs. 

We will be moving to the Eastgate Mall! Our specific location will be shared publicly once we are ready to reopen! Specific instructions for pick ups and drop offs will be provided once we have moved, including a detailed map and photos. This information will also be posted on our social media!

We know you are curious about the new facility, but please wait to to visit until we are officially open. We'll be happy to show you the new space once we've reopened!

We will happily accept clothing donations at our warehouse up until Friday May 19th. After that date, all donations should be dropped off at our new location! We will update our website and social media pages with the address and specific location when we are ready to reopen so please keep an eye out!

Yes! However, our Spring-Summer clothing distribution will be SPLIT IN TWO SESSIONS! 

Session 1 - Spring

March 15th through May 3rd. We will be closing requests in early May to prepare for our move. The last day to pick up items from Spring (Session 1) will be May 12th. For more info, see the question below.

Session 2 - Summer

Our Spring-Summer request form will reopen in June once we are settled in our new facility. 

If you request clothing from us during Spring (Session 1), you will pick up your items at our Batavia warehouse PRIOR TO MAY 12TH. On Friday May 12th GLAM will close to the public and you will not be able to pick up your packs until June, when we reopen at our new location. 

If you request clothing during Summer (Session 2), you will pick up your items from our new location in the Eastgate Mall. Specific pick up instructions will be provided to you when your clothing packs are complete. 

Please pay careful attention to any and all correspondence from Give Like a Mother during this time! Dates and locations are subject to change as we navigate this move!

Yes, absolutely! This move will be an all-hands-on-deck affair. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Tara at tara.dill@givelikeamother.com or complete our volunteer form under the Give Time section of the website to sign up for our moving crew!

There are no income restrictions or qualifications for receiving clothing assistance. Our program operates at no cost to our clients. Although everyone loves the idea of free clothing, we ask that only families who truly need help request clothing assistance, that way we are able to continue serving families with the greatest need!

Important things to note:

• We provide clothing to children only - ages Newborn to 18. 
• We ask that families be able to pick up their clothing from our facility in Batavia Ohio.

You can request clothing assistance by filling out our online form. The form will ask you to indicate your child's clothing and shoe size. After filling out a request, our packers will create a clothing pack based on your child's size and preferences. Once your clothing is ready, you can pick up the pack(s) from our facility.

This year we've partnered with the United Way of Greater Cincinnati to provide free deliveries to clients through DoorDash. To be eligible for these deliveries you must reside within 10 miles (as the crow flies) of our facility. We will let you know if you qualify when your packs are complete.

Unfortunately, we only serve children ages Newborn through 18 (or up until high school graduation).

A clothing pack provides a “school week’s” worth of clothing so children do not have to re-wear clothing in the same week. Each clothing pack comes with 5 outfits, 5 new pairs of underwear, 3-5 pairs of new socks, a pair of shoes, pajamas and a jacket. You can opt out of receiving certain items if your do not need them.

Please note any style preferences or special considerations in the Additional Information section of the request form and we will do our best to accommodate your child's wishes!

Currently we require that our clients pick up from our facility. Because of this, we serve mostly children and teens within Clermont County. As long as a someone can pick up their items from our location, we do not turn them away. 

• We work with local schools, churches, child service agencies, and other nonprofit organizations to identify the children and teens that need us the most.
• By word of mouth or through the use of social media, clients often refer friends to us once they have used our service.

• Individual Donors - Accounted for roughly 97% of our funding from last year!
• Grants - Although we have received very few grants in the past, we plan on increasing funding from grants this year!
• Businesses and Other Nonprofits - We had a few local businesses and other nonprofits support us this past year. This year our goal is to increase the awareness of our service in our community and to get more business/corporate support! 
• County Partnership - This year we secured a partnership with Clermont County JFS that allows us to receive TANF funding for clothing distributed to Clermont County residents. This partnership will allow us to increase our scale of operations and serve more children than we could have ever anticipated!
