Donate Items

While we do not have storage for clothing, books, or televisions, you can still help our clients by donating these items to Goodwill. Through our partnership with Goodwill, a percentage of donations made on our behalf will be converted into gift cards that we give to clients, allowing them to shop for what they need when needed.

You can support survivors by providing full-sized hygiene products and home essentials. These items are given to individuals transitioning from our shelter into new housing, helping them settle into their new space with dignity and comfort.

Hygiene Kit Items:

• Soap, shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.

(Please donate new and unopened items only)

Home Starter Kit Items:

• Cleaning supplies (e.g., oven cleaner, dish soap, disinfectants)
• Paper towels, trash bags, rubber gloves
• Non-perishable food items

Help Greene County’s domestic violence survivors by organizing a cleaning supplies drive. You can partner with your business, place of worship, or community group to collect essential items.

Suggested Items for Donation:

Brighten the holidays by sponsoring a family in need. You’ll be provided with the names, ages, and wish lists of family members so you can make their holiday season a little brighter. For more information, please contact us at 937.426.6535.

Our clients often arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs. You can help by providing gift cards to grocery stores like Walmart, Kroger, or Meijer. These cards allow clients in crisis to buy the food they need.

Gift cards also help provide holiday dinners, allowing survivors and their families to celebrate together in the safety of our shelter.
