FINANCIAL DONATIONS

Financial donations are always welcomed to buy items that grants do not cover. We have a monthly birthday party for residents and like to provide party favors and gifts for the children and the mothers who have birthdays that month. We also like to provide our residential and non-residential survivors with a basket at Thanksgiving time as well as Christmas Gifts at that time of the year.

We collect old cell phones and computer ink cartridges to raise funds. Gift certificates to McDonalds, Burger King, Avon, department stores, shoe stores, etc. are helpful for outings or for items we cannot provide. Passes to ball games, skating centers, bowling, Imax, zoo, aquarium, etc. provides for fun trips for the children.
