Please note, our In-Kind Donation Program will be closed until July. Our program is run by volunteers, and until we can welcome back our volunteers, we will have to make a pause in the program.

We appreciate your patience at this time. If you would like to inquire about what items we will be accepting, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or check the list of our urgent needs below.

Starter Kit Program

You can help a woman transitioning out of the shelter and moving into her own apartment by contributing to a Starter Kit. Each kit contains the basics that a woman needs when setting up a new home. These kits transform four walls and a roof into a cozy and peaceful home. It’s especially important that all items in a Starter Kit be unused – for women who have endured so much, new houseware means a great deal.

 A Starter Kit usually includes:

• Kitchen Supplies: Pots and pans, frying pans, dish soap, and pot scrubbers

• Bedding: Duvets and sheets

• Cleaning supplies: Mop, broom, dust pan, and toilet brush

• Hygiene products: Toilet paper and hand soap

• First aid: Band aid and antibiotic cream

• Coffee

• Tea

• Sugar

• Flour

• Salt and pepper

• Pasta

• Tomato Sauce

• Canned Goods

• Peanut Butter

• Rice

• Bread

• Dairy Products (milk, cheese, yogurt)
