Our story
Comfort, restored one doll at a time.
Special DOLLivery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that restores and delivers American Girl dolls to children in vulnerable home environments — offering emotional support and a comforting friend.
Our mission
Restoring dolls. Delivering dignity.
Partnering with Utah Foster Care, Title I schools, community centers, and more, we place lovingly restored dolls into the arms of children who need them most.
Every doll is cleaned, repaired, dressed, and paired with a full kit of clothing, doll wig brush, doll bedding, a chapter book, and a carrying bag — so each child receives not just a toy, but a companion to call her own.

The joy of delivery
Every doll has a face behind it.
Every image reflects the love and care of our donors and volunteers — and the joy on a child’s face when comfort arrives.
