Support with Purpose: Essential Item Drives You can support families from House of Refuge by providing essential items that help turn their new house into a home. Your generous contributions will offer comfort, dignity, and a warm welcome as they begin this new chapter.
Pantry Starter Kit Help our residents stock their pantry with the basics for cooking. Fill a reusable shopping bag with flour, sugar, baking soda, vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add measuring cups and measuring spoons too!
Make a House a Home Many of our residents arrive with little to no personal belongings. Help them to make their house a home by donating a cookware set, cooking utensils, a dish set, glasses, coffee mugs and silverware.
Hygiene Kit The name says it all. Fill a box with body wash or bar soap, shampoo and conditioner, lotion, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, feminine products, and a hairbrush.
Family Support Basket Support the families we serve by filling a box with a large blanket, adult and children's socks, a grocery gift card, and family friendly books or games.
Oh Baby We are always in need of diapers, all sizes, and wipes. Our tiniest residents can also use new clothing, new toys, and books.
After School Snacks School age children can enjoy our community center after school and during the summer. Help us provide healthy snacks for them by providing the following individually wrapped items: granola bars, fruit snacks, crackers with cheese, and juice boxes.
Time for Bed House of Refuge provides each family member with a new bed upon arrival. Donate new sheets, mattress pads, and pillows so they can get a good night's rest.
Clean Up Time Everyone loves a fresh home. Donate dish soap, spray cleaners, sponges, paper towels, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and new brooms.
First Aid Kit Donate pre-packaged first aid kits or make some up. Include band-aids, antibacterial ointment, electric oral thermometer, reusable ice pack, ace bandages, and Q-tips.
Bathroom Basket Fill a new laundry basket with a shower curtain, curtain rings, four bath towels, four hand towels, and four washcloths. Include a bathroom rug if you would like.
