Each month we feature specific household items needed through donation drives. Sign up to host a donation drive for those items or choose a different item from our needs list.

Also each month, we need 15 cleaning kits (valued at around $100) and 10 welcome home kits (valued at around $500) stocked with the items a family needs to set up their home.  Provide these kits as an individual or host a drive for one or multiple kits through an organization, company or group of friends.
