Thank you for considering making a gift from our Wishlist!  Shelter staff work hard to utilize resources carefully and efficiently. Donations of items from the list below will help us stretch our budget further and meet the many and varied needs of our clients.

We have updated our list to reflect the items most needed at this time.  This includes items for our clients who often come with nothing but what they are wearing or can easily carry, and a few household items to ensure that our Residential Facility operates smoothly and effectively as a home for clients.
