Please contact Lindsay Bartholomew, Program Director for Utah Easy to Love at 801.928.1124 with any questions you may have. 



Organized by Utah Easy to Love and sponsored by KONA Karate, Macaroni Kid and Ability Station, we are hoping to gather a variety of clothing and sizes for these families to choose from. 
Special needs families spend thousands of dollars on therapies, medical bills, special needs tools and more each year. Many of these families do not have much left over to clothe their families with each change in season or growth spurt, and as you can imagine, many of the parents and caregivers put themselves very last on the list and often go without even the most basic necessities. After noticing this was a struggle for many of the families we serve, E2L decided that hosting a clothing drive could alleviate a huge burden many of them face in hopes of giving them one less thing to worry about this holiday season.   Easy to Love will be collecting new and gently used winter clothing, coats, gloves and hats for men, women and children. We are also accepting cash donations to purchase new socks and underwear. Donations will be collected October 13th - November 5th, and will host an open house for families with special needs children to come and get the items they need on November 8th.  

All donations are tax deductible and 100% of donations will benefit local special needs families.
