Living With Heart: Our Drive for the Center for Alexandria’s Children

At The Goodhart Group, loving where we live means supporting our community. This season, we’re hosting a donation drive for the Center for Alexandria’s Children (CAC), which helps keep local kids safe and supported. Neighbors, clients, and friends, please join us to make a meaningful impact.

The Heart of the Mission: Why CAC Matters

The Center for Alexandria’s Children is Alexandria’s Child Advocacy Center. It offers a child-friendly place where professionals coordinate investigation, treatment, and support for cases of abuse or neglect. By reducing stress on kids and streamlining care, CAC helps families heal, and your support directly strengthens the safety and future of Alexandria’s youth.

Essential Donation Needs: Stocking the ALX Closet

Our donation drive is specifically focused on supporting the ALX Closet, a vital resource established in partnership with The Fund for Alexandria’s Children.

The ALX Closet provides clothing and essential items to families facing crisis or urgent need. In its first year alone, the Closet served nearly 1,000 children, a milestone that reflects both the significant need and the incredible generosity of our community.

As colder weather approaches, families rely on the ALX Closet for warmth and basic stability. Right now, the greatest need is for brand-new, unwrapped items, including:

• Basic essentials: New socks and underwear (all sizes, toddlers to teens)
• Hygiene: Toothbrushes, toothpastes, body soap and wipes
• Care: Diapers (sizes 3 to 7), diaper rash ointment
• Clothing: Children’s clothing in clean, good condition

Your gift helps a child here at home feel safe today and supports a family in our community!
