STUFFED ANIMAL DRIVES

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008
Please click on the link above if you would like information about the new legislation regarding childrens toys and the new safety requirements. According to my research and my many conversations with the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) SAFE does not fall under their new requirements for childrens toys because we are accepting donations and then donating these to organizations (therefore we are not trying to sell them). I will continue to update this section though if anything changes. Thank you!

Thank you so much for visiting our site!Stuffed Animals For Emergencies (SAFE) is a non-profit organization run completely by volunteers (chapter members). We 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. We also donate the items we receive to other childrens organizations, military organizations, libraries and even nursing homes. We accept 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 we receive donations we go through and clean the items, 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 we have 18 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Please visit our 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 'How To Donate' page for more information!
