Donate Items

Thank you for thinking of Shelter House for your in-kind donation.  While we would love to accept everything that is offered to us, we have very limited storage space and our needs depend on the specific needs of each of the families we serve.  Please contact the Community Coordinator at each shelter to confirm that we are able to accept your donation and to schedule a drop-off.  Also, please review each shelter's In-Kind Donation Wish List to see what items are urgently needed at each facility.

Drop offs of in-kind donations are generally accepted any day of the week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm at either shelter.  Please contact us to schedule a drop off outside of these hours.  Special arrangements must be made for donations to Artemis House.  Please contact Artemis House staff for more information.

If your items are not on our wishlists, please contact the appropriate Community Coordinator to see if we can accept them.
