How can the public support Orchards
Orchards accepts many types of gifts whether it's time, treasure, or talent. They accept
in-kind donations of new or slightly used clothing, non-perishable food, school supplies,
new toys, furniture, toiletries, and more.
Orchards also needs community volunteers! Volunteers help them pack backpacks for
their Back2School, assemble bikes for bike day, and assist during holiday events.
Those interested in making an in-kind gift or volunteering can contact Vicki Orleans at

You can always donate funds directly to them by clicking the link above! Financial gifts
go very far to create a better life for the children and families in their care. Join
Orchards Children’s Services in their fight against child abuse and neglect by making a
contribution today to a child in need.
Why does Zingerman's support Orchards
Zingerman's values the difficult and crucial work that is required to help children and families navigate what can too often be traumatic times for all involved. We admire the dedication that Orchards has to family preservation and ensuring that the children they serve are given the opportunity to simply have fun and be kids amidst any instability they may be facing in their lives. Ultimately, their focus is on improving the lives of all who are involved in this system. We're proud to contribute to their work as a community partner.
