Home / Ways To Give / Personal Giving / Essential Items Drives
As the seasons change around us, many of the children we serve aren’t prepared for the changing weather or may need essential items for seasonal activities. You can make a huge impact on a child’s life by donating essentials such as clothing, jackets, hygiene items, holiday gift cards, sporting goods, and more for our children. The Home’s Collecting Essentials Drives allow you to donate various, much-needed supplies. Please see our list below of the different collections you can participate in.
As an alternative to item donations, The Home also accepts gift cards to major retailers to fulfill these needs. (T.J. Maxx/Marshalls, Target, Walmart, and Amazon gift cards are all very helpful, year-round.)
Please download and print our Donation Tax Receipt Form to mail with your donation.
Thank you for your support!

Our kids aren’t just wishing for toys or a bike…
they’re hoping for a loving family and a place to belong.
Help us grant their biggest holiday wishes!
