paper products

teen clothing

bath towels and wash cloths

Leaving an abusive situation can be scary!  Those that do take that step and have the courage to leave, leave most everything behind.  Think of all the things you would leave behind.  Think of what you would need to start over.  A victim may leave with a few personal items and the clothes on their back. 

This is a compiled list of items that are requested in the shelter and items clients could use as they move into a place of their own.

Please take care when donating, that items are clean, gently used or new and in good working condition.  Donations may be dropped off during office hours (Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm).  Please call ahead if you will be making a large donation.

If you are hesitant to give cash....time and emotional support are the most valuable things we can give to families in crisis... but time costs money, in terms of staff hours, volunteer training and liability insurance. Your cash gift and support of fund raising events buys the gift of time.
