It’s often the little things that make a big difference in the lives of those in need, or in our ability to provide services. The agency’s programs have ongoing needs for many new and gently used items—everything from stuff for kids in our childcare programs to household items that give immigrants and refugees a good start on lives in our diocese.

If you have an item or items you’d like to donate, click here for contact information.

Here are a few of the items we need right now. If you have something in good condition that we could use, let us know. Or, please remember us when you go shopping. We may even pick up donated items—large and small—when necessary.
