Supplies We Need

Thousands of families come through our doors each year, so as you can imagine, our supply of snack foods, cleaning supplies, toiletry items and more, dwindles quickly.

It’s only through the support and generosity of our community that we are able to provide a comfortable space and home-like atmosphere for our families

Items We Appreciate:

  • Blankets: both lap size and full size – homemade fleece “tie” blankets need to be made from new fabric. Please wash homemade blankets before dropping off.
  • Books: We accept new and gently used books for children and adults.
  • New Cleaning Supplies and Paper Products
  • New Clothing for both adults and children.
  • Toys and Dolls: We can accept only new, in-box toys and dolls.
