In-Kind Donation Guide
While donations of goods are very much appreciated, our limited storage space makes overcrowding of supplies an issue. A donation of gift cards to places that offer our common supplies (Walmart, Target, Dillons) and small but regular monetary donations to cover ongoing supplies are a huge help in providing us with what we need while keeping in mind our limited space!
