Frequently asked questions

Who can nominate a child?

Anyone who knows a child who would benefit — a parent or guardian, coach, teacher or family friend. Families can also apply for their own child.

What areas do you serve?

We currently serve families in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.

What condition should donated gear be in?

Gently used and safe to wear. We clean and inspect everything, but we can’t use items that are cracked, expired or badly damaged. When in doubt, contact us.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

The Hockey Access Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Please consult your tax advisor about your specific situation.

How can my team or business get involved?

Groups can host a gear drive, volunteer together at a maintenance day, or sponsor registration scholarships. Get in touch and we’ll find the right fit.
