Please send your required documentation to [email protected] before coming to the warehouse for the best shopping experience.
Step One- When you arrive, please bring your photo ID/valid driver’s license to the counter.
Step Two- A volunteer will give you a tour of the warehouse if needed.
Step Three- Grab a shopping bag and find the items that your child(ren) need. As a reminder, we are here to serve the current needs of the foster child(ren) in your home.

We love our items to make a full circle. Once your child no longer needs the items you received from the warehouse, we kindly ask that you return them so together we can pay it forward to the next family.
As the children’s needs grow, you are welcome back to the warehouse.

The MTaB marketplace is a closed group for our caregivers. Post what your family needs or post what item you have to give. The idea is that you will be helping each other. More Than A Bed will do the same – we will post newly donated items.

To ensure our support is being directed solely to the population we are committed to serving, we conducted an internal review of our policies, procedures, and paperwork. As a result, we have revised our acceptable forms of documentation, and will begin implementation in the new year.
As of January 1, 2026 we will be requiring updated/current documentation from all existing MTaB families as well as any new families going forward. Current and legal documents must be on file in order for you to shop in the warehouse or enroll for services in our upcoming Enrichment Center.
To download a copy of this information in English, click here. Para descargar una copia de esta información en español, haga clic aquí.
See below for requested Contact Information and updates to Accepted Documents.
The following items must be current for Primary Caregivers.
In order to shop after January 1, 2026, we need to have at least one of the below Accepted Documents on file for all Primary Caregivers/Children. The good news? You likely already have this required paperwork on hand or should be able to easily attain it through your caseworker.
ACCEPTED DOCUMENTS
NO LONGER ACCEPTED
To provide updated documentation, bring your paperwork into our Front Desk the next time you shop. In order to shop after January 1, 2026, your contact information and documents need to be current. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our Program Manager, Deb Szelewski at 520-428-5280 x0028 or email [email protected]. We are here to help!
Our services are at no cost to those we serve. All donated items are gently used or new.
Caregiver’s Corner: Any caregiver who is on the legal documentation may shop at our new Caregiver’s Corner. While there is not a limit on clothing, we ask that you only take a reasonable amount. One pair of shoes are available per caregiver every 180 days.

We prefer that you shop primarily at the warehouse. Larger items that cannot be stored at the warehouse are posted there as well as some items from third-party donors. This page is also a way for families to share items they no longer need. MTaB Marketplace is an extension and not the primary source for providing for the children in your home.
Yes, children are welcome at the warehouse! We request that you keep a close eye on them as there is not a designated childcare area. We also ask that you assist the children in picking up after themselves.
You can visit the warehouse as often as you need items for the children! There is no limit on the number of visits but there are restrictions on certain items. Please see our Shopping Guidelines.
We accept gently used and new items any time during our hours of operation at Warehouse #2. Please drop them off before 1:15pm. We can provide a donation receipt for your tax purposes. We can not accept anything larger than a crib due to space restrictions. Please email [email protected] if you have furniture to donate. Thank you!
No, we do not offer a pick-up service at this time.
No, everything in the warehouse is offered at no charge to the families we serve.
Please contact us and advise that the child was reunified, so we can update our records and bring back any items that are no longer needed.
More Than a Bed provides essential items to foster, kinship, and adoptive families and children in a congregate care setting. The children we assist must be in foster care, under the Tribal Division of Child Welfare Services, are under legal guardianship, or have been adopted. We do not assist the biological parents for reunification of their biological children. We also assist teens who are in AYAP, TILP, or group homes as well as teens/adults who are in care and have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities where they cannot live on their own. Legal documentation is required for all the children/adults that we serve.
We are open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and the first and third Saturday of each month from 8:30 am – 1:30 pm.
No, but please give yourself enough time to shop as we close at 1:30 pm. To expedite your time, we recommend you know the items you need for the children in your care to include sizes and specifics you are in need of.
The person providing care for that child/adult whose name appears on the legal documentation or if necessary, an assigned caseworker.
Some items have a limit. Clothing typically does not have a limit, however, we ask that the families take whatever their current need is. Our guidelines are posted above and in the warehouse for your convenience.
The MTaB Facebook Marketplace page (only for caregivers) requires the items be picked up directly from the person offering the item. We consider the Facebook page to be an extension of our Warehouse, so everything posted is at no cost to the family receiving that item. In order to participate, your information and documentation with MTaB must be current. Please keep in mind that MTaB Marketplace is an extension and not the primary source for providing for the children in your home.
MTaB requires the child sleeping on the top bunk be at least 8 years old and does not have a diagnosed disability.
More Than a Bed organizes a range of activities annually including events for Back-to-School , Christmas, and Easter. Stay up to date on our Events Page.
We are opening an Enrichment Center in 2026 that will offer educational and recreational opportunities in a trauma-informed space. There are currently plans for martial arts, drama, robotics, and visual arts classes, with future opportunities for unique opportunities like chess classes and sports workshops. There will also be specific programs for youth aging out of foster care including life-skills classes, mentorship, and employment resources. Stay tuned for updates.
Yes, we are always looking for individuals and groups to volunteer at the Warehouse! Please call 520-428-5280 or email our Volunteer Coordinator, Pam Kenney, at [email protected].
