Kids Closet is an outreach program of Berean Baptist Church in Burnsville, MN. Our mission is to help meet the material needs of families in Dakota County while providing services to also help meet their spiritual needs. The program has been in existence since 2007 and continues to grow each year both in the number of donations made and the number of families helped.
How it works:
All throughout the year, volunteers collect gently used children�s items. We collect clothing of all sizes, toys, books and videos, baby equipment and bikes. Due to liability issues, we do not accept car seats.
In April, we hold our annual Kids Closet event at the church. Dakota County residents are invited to come and �shop� our Kids Closet free of charge. No money is collected for any items, and guests are free to take as many items as they can use.
As funds become available, the Kids Closet also provides items such as diapers, baby wipes, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes, cereal, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, etc. These items are in great demand in our community and are distributed evenly to the guests.
We greatly appreciate your willingness to donate your gently used children�s items. Be assured that your donation will be given to the Dakota County community free of charge. Many, many families will be greatly blessed by your generosity, and on behalf of us and them, we thank you.
If you have questions, comments, or would like information on how to donate children�s items at other times during the year, please feel free to call the church office at 952-432-7168.
