DONATIONS WISH LIST
Why do we often ask for brand new items?
When a new tenant arrives in our supported housing, it's sometimes the first place they have been able to call home for a very long time. Walking into a room with fresh new bedlinen, a new mattress and a few other quality home comforts like a bedside table and lamp and a comfy chair to sit in, can go a long way to help people feel truly valued and restore self-esteem. This is often the first step in helping someone to rebuild their life and leave the trauma of homelessness behind for good.
Due to very limited storage, we can only accept donations of specific items on our wish list below (or any items requested via our social media). For hygiene reasons, we are unable to accept any donations of second-hand bedding or mattresses. Thank you for your understanding!
