In Martin County, the families and programs caring for our most vulnerable children shouldn't have to do it alone.
Martin County is home to roughly 26,000 children — and to The Children's Collective of Florida. About 1 in 9 lives in poverty, and behind every foster-care removal or kinship placement is a household and a program that needs immediate support.
Powered by community. Whether you donate or shop, you're fueling two things: quality goods at affordable prices for every family, and grant funding for the local programs serving vulnerable children in our community.
Why This Matters Here
How CCOF Works
The Children's Collective of Florida is a community-powered nonprofit —
built in Martin County, building for Florida. Neighbors, donors, partner programs, and volunteers come together here to support the children who need it most. Our flagship program, the Collective Kids Closet, opens Fall 2026 as a community resale store.
"I started The Children's Collective of Florida as a mother, not an institution. Every
item that moves through our hands is inspected, cleaned, and chosen the way I'd choose it for my own children — never disposable surplus. Right now, our community is Martin County and the Treasure Coast. And we will show you where every gift goes."
— Stephanie Haskins, Founder & President
