OneChild | Providing disadvantaged children with new clothing and school supplies throughout the SF Bay Area.

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.

What We Provide

Each child who visits our store receives the following brand new items of clothing:

2 pairs of jeans
3 shirts
1 package of socks
1 package of underwear
1 sweatshirt and matching sweatpants

A Look Behind the Scenes

Each child who visits the store may choose a brand new backpack and fill it up with lots of brand new school supplies, determined by grade level. Take the Virtual Store Tour!
