Supplies We Need

Thousands of families come through our doors each year, so as you can imagine, our supply of snack foods, cleaning supplies, toiletry items and more, dwindles quickly.

It’s only through the support and generosity of our community that we are able to provide a comfortable space and home-like atmosphere for our families.

IMPORTANT! Please Review our Donation Guidelines
Due to the vulnerable populations we serve, we are unable to accept the following items:

  • Used clothing, toys, or blankets
  • Used furniture or bedding
  • Opened toiletries or cleaning products
  • Medical equipment or supplies
  • Home-cooked or expired food
  • Any items with religious connotations

Items We Appreciate: 

  • Blankets: both lap size and full size – homemade fleece “tie” blankets need to be made from new fabric. Please wash homemade blankets before dropping off.
  • Books: We accept new and gently used books for children and adults.
  • New Cleaning Supplies and Paper Products
  • New Clothing for both adults and children.
  • Toys and Dolls: We can accept only new, unwrapped toys and dolls.
  • Food: We can accept only unopened, unexpired food.

Parents in Indiana don’t know when their children will need medical help. But with your help, they’ll know they have a warm, friendly home away from home.

When we work together, they can heal together.
