About Us:

Little Things for Tiny Tots distributes new and pre-loved essential baby items to WA families in need. We provide a box of “little things” to assist families to care for their newborn with items such as clothing, blankets, nappies, wipes, toys and books.

• Communicate effectively to the Operations Team, and Committee as required, any inventory needs so donation drives, callouts and purchases can be initiated.

• Establish and maintain effective relationships with all Donation Drop Off Partners and other related stakeholders.

• Ensure consistent donation flow and maintain appropriate stock levels through effective stock storage processes and management of Donation Drop Off Partners.

• Ensure an adequate network of drop off locations is maintained at all times.

Research and identify prospective Donation Drop Off locations and contacts that align with our mission and meet criteria for participation in our collection program.
