Gifts in Kind
Families often come through our doors with few belongings. Gathering all of the essentials our families need can be tricky and costly, so we greatly appreciate donations. Your generosity goes a long way.
Good to know: Sometimes we’re unable to take items due to storage capacity or current needs, so it’s important to speak to us before dropping anything off. We don’t pick up items, but you can use a courier to deliver them to our office location.
