Mugs, nappies and pyjamas have been donated to disadvantaged young people and adults by staff from Connexions Derbyshire Limited, which has its head office in Ripley.
More than 200 mugs were donated to Derby charity The Padley Group, which works with homeless and socially excluded people.
Nappies, baby toiletries, clothes and toys were donated to teenage parent groups and over £205 was raised to buy pyjamas and night wear for Glossop Women's Aid.
Hugh Hastie, chief executive of Connexions, said, "As an organisation, we're all about making a difference to people's lives – whether it be advising young people with their career choices or personal problems through Connexions, to helping adults get into work, training or learning through our nextstep service.
"We hope the generous donations made by our staff really will help make a difference."
