Twice The Love
We believe every child deserves clothes, no matter the age or size — one of life’s basic necessities. Our Twice the Love Program is a constant clothes drive and donation outlet to help parents clothe their child from ages 0-5yrs old.
We also want to ensue children receive the proper nutrition and supplies needed in the first years of life. We provide baby food, baby formula, diapers, wipes, baby wash, shampoo, and everyday items needed to care for your little one.
Recourses are a parent’s best friend. Twice the Love provides the opportunity for the other parents and community businesses to get involved with helping parents in need directly. We offer parenting informational workshops and support groups. Workshops include info on breastfeeding, Birthing Centers, CPR Awareness, Childcare, Therapeutic Centers, Family Insurance and Much More.
In addition to our clothes drive and donation outlet, Twice the Love also hosts Homes for Mom workshops to support single moms and foster parents with the necessary resources to assist in the process of acquiring a single-family home. Seminars are held with guest speakers that educate families on financial literacy and the process of becoming a homeowner.
By utilizing their network, realtors are encouraged to compete in helping raise funds for the program. The winning realtor will receive a special prize reward. As a result, the Darcy J Foundation will also highlight real estate professionals on our social media pages. These select professionals will be interviewed in our “Share Your Story with DJF” segment. All proceeds raised will be used to fund Twice the Love.
In support of a healthier lifestyle, nutritional meal plans and family fitness training is also provided through fitness bootcamps, yoga and meditation.
Twice the Love Program collects and provides gently used clothing to babies and children in need.
100% of collected baby clothes are given directly to parents and children-in-need. Rest assured; families will not need to purchase the clothes (as they would at Goodwill). They are given away free of charge to all families that register and verify with our organization.
Drop off (or mail) clothes in sizes 0-5T. All clothes are washed and carefully sorted through to ensure all donations to families are stain-free and packaged to make it easy for our volunteers to hand out.
Each item that is donated to Twice the Love is inspected with the greatest of care. This certifies that every piece of clothing is free of stains and holes, that every puzzle contains all of its pieces, that every toy is clean and ready to use, and that every shoe is in good condition and part of a pair. It is with your help that we are able to guarantee that every item Twice the Love distributes is something that you would give or use with your own children or loved ones.

To determine if your child is developmentally delayed and requires special services, early diagnosis is key.
