Hello Kikyo:
As far as I know, orphanages in the USA are very rare other than on Indian reservations. The agencies responsible for young children are placed in foster care. You might contact your local police department, or look for a phone number for "Children and Family Service." Call the non-emergency phone number and ask if they have a foster home for younger children. You might also check your community to see if there is a homeless assisting shelter that could use gifts. Our town has a "giving tree" set up at the local mall. Children in need request items, and then a wish list is pinned to the tree. People take the tags from the tree and try to fill the wishes. Perhaps your town has something similar.
Keep on Scoutin'

Look for Family Shelters in your area. There are very few orphanages in the US, but there are many families still in need.

Look in the yellow pages or call a social service agency.
