Items NeededThank you for your interest in helping homeless children.
Your donations are welcome and greatly appreciated. Gifts must be new and safe for children. For pick-up or questions contact: Bobette at [email protected] or Pearl at [email protected]. Large quantities are needed so focusing on a few items seems to work best for groups working on gathering donations. Volunteer shoppers scour for bargains and buy in bulk where possible.
