Welcome to OneChild

OneChild is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing disadvantaged children with new clothing and school supplies. OneChild began in Fremont, California and now serves families throughout the Bay Area.

Our goal is to promote self-esteem in underprivileged children, so they may appreciate their individual worth.

OneChild offers a variety of volunteer opportunities. We also welcome monetary donations of any amount. Your help goes a long way in bringing joy to the lives of children… one child at a time.
