Our “Wish List” of Useful Items
Donations of the following items are of the most usefulness to our guests.
Because there are many agencies our guests may approach during the day to get regular clothing items (pants, shirts, T-shirts, etc.), we limit our solicitations of clothing to the area of “outerwear.” The items we need are of the practical variety our guests require to get through a chilly night.
And PLEASE: NO children’s clothes, “dress” clothes, or housewares. Our need for women’s clothes is also limited.
Some help us by holding blanket / clothing / shoe / socks drives within their church or organization.
