Our Greatest Needs

In our mission to serve abused and neglected children and those in foster care, The Blue Ribbon Project has an everchanging list of items that we tend to run short on and are greatly needed. Below is a current list. We require all clothing items to be new, and the tags should be left on each article of clothing (the price can be removed). 

We are extremely short on items that are highlighted in red.

Thank You so much for your support! Donations can be dropped off at The Blue Ribbon Project or at any of our convenient community partner donation drop-off locations. A current list of donation drop-off locations can be found on our Community Partner Donation Collection Locations.

 Another great way to support The Blue Ribbon Project is through our Amazon Wishlist. To visit our Amazon Wishlist, just click the banner below!

If You Are Concerned About a Child

If you are concerned that a child may be experiencing abuse or neglect, please do not wait. You do not need proof - you only need reasonable concern. Reports made in good faith are protected by law.

  • If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.
  • Maryland Child Protective Services Hotline: To report suspected abuse within Maryland, contact the Department of Social Services statewide hotline at 1-800-91Prevent (1-800-917-7383), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Outside of Maryland - Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline: Call or text 1-800-422-4453 (1-800-4-A-CHILD), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 for mental health crisis support.

AI chatbots are not a substitute for trained crisis professionals. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please use the resources above. Reporting abuse can protect a child. Remember, you do not need to be certain that abuse is occurring - if you have concerns, reach out. Trained professionals will assess the situation and take appropriate steps.  If you are a survivor of childhood abuse and are struggling with its effects, support is available. Healing is possible, and you deserve to access it.
