I just moved to Cincinnati with my kids. I came up here with nothing, no money. I need help with beds and clothing for my kids. What can I do or how can I get help with beds and clothing?

Look in the phone book or online for women's shelters, St. Vincent De Paul, Goodwill, or Salvation Army thrift stores, and churches in your area. All these organizations will be able to help you or point you to some place that will. Good luck & God bless you in your new life.
I'm assuming you have a place to live and some sort of income?
You can always place a request on Craigslist and Freecyle (your zip) and someone may have something you can use. Please remember, most people will want you to be able to pick up whatever they have so keep that in mind.
I have a couple of links that have a multitude of places to ask for help and since children are involved, many of these organizations will make quick arrangements.

Hi, New to Cincinnati! I'm from the Cleveland area - so welcome to Ohio. Here's EXACTLY what you need to do. Get on this site: www.freecycle.org. Near the bottom of the page, it will ask for your location - type in "Cincinnati, OH." I just did it and was thrilled to see that there are 3 Cincinnati Groups. One is for "Inside City Limits" and it has 3,400 members - that's a lot. The "Eastern Suburbs" group has 5,700 members - HUGE! And the "Western Suburbs" group has 3,500 members. Cincinnati has obviously grasped the concept! It's EASY to join and you can join all of them. Freecycle is a nation-wide concept that serves people who have neat stuff that they no longer have a need for and others that have needs that must be met.
i certainly agree with Barbara about Freecycle as there are a lot of nice people who just want to get rid of things they no longer need and feel it is a shame to just put it by the curb for trash day.
In addition to Freecycle and Craigslist you can ask churches to help
You can reference this website and hopefully one of these places will be useful for you and your kids.

If you have a Facebook account, a lot of people in the sell section also give things for free. But I do not think they delivery..
