Our Wishlist

Wishlist Items (updated 6/24/21)

Monetary contributions are always welcome or consider donating an item from our wishlist. We are always in need of paper products - tissue, toilet paper, plates, and towels. We also have a great need for cleaning products (prefer “green”).

We have created an AMAZON WISHLIST for donors to easily review very specific items we may need. Thank you for supporting our mission.

We are often in need of a variety of professional services and are grateful for those who can donate their time and resources. For the comfort and security of our guests, please call the house to learn more about our current needs and to arrange a drop off of items, 315-475-1747.
