For donation drop off or pick up please e-mail us at: [email protected].
A monetary donation in any amount. When you give your donation of even $1, it allows us to purchase desperately needed items for our kids at a bulk price. It also allows us to fund programs such as Housing Support, Send-A-Kid Home, Strive, College tuition, and numerous other programs we offer our kids. EVERY dollar goes directly to our kids, it is not used for overhead costs.
We also understand that many of you enjoy shopping, or may have contacts that can supply items. Below is a list of items that we need daily to operate our center. Everything makes a difference.

- $5 Food Cards – to McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s and KFC. (these are all walking distance from the center)
