Needed Supplies
We are often asked about what our current material needs are. The programs that we offer are varied therefore we are in continuous need of a variety of supplies – from shampoo and kitchen utensils to bedroom furniture and computers. Please use this list as a guide when organizing donations, but also feel free to collect other items as well if you believe it will be useful. We do ask that all donations be in a good, clean and useable condition.Collecting and donating supplies is a tangible way to help our families and to help spread the word about the work that we do. Your support is not only greatly appreciated; it directly makes a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of families each year. Thank you!
