For food and item donations, please take a look at our Wishlist or contact us to see if we can use any unwanted items. We usually need used but quality games, art supplies, and sports equipment. We sometimes need things like clothing, school supplies, and cleaning supplies, depending on what we have at the moment. We always take easy, grab and go snacks and microwave meals for kids to eat after school.
