Your support helps our clients access the medical services, housing, and employment that allow for stability and sef-sufficiency.

We genuinely thank our benefactors, associates, and contributors.

Donate Food
Perhaps your organization can organize a food drive, as some area boy scouts have done.

Donate Grocery Bags
Don't throw away all of your plastic grocery bags! We need them to provide food to our clients in. Please bring us your plastic (not paper) bags from the grocery store if they are clean and don't have any tears or holes in them.

Donate Items
We welcome gently used items including women's and men's clothing, jewelry, accessories, shoes, books, house ware items, art and antiques, for resale in our Community Shoppe.

Donate Furniture
Please call (401) 364 - 9412 to make arrangements in advance if you have furniture to donate, as our space is limited. Please donate your book cases, coffee tables, decorative cabinets, chairs, dining room sets, night stands, writing desks and ottomans. We happily accept clean, even-toned upholstered pieces with no stains or tears.
