IN-KIND DONATIONS
Donations of goods and services are always welcomed at McAuley House, McAuley Village, and The Warde-robe. The specific needs of each ministry are listed below, along with helpful information on how to make your donation.
Businesses, Churches and Schools are invited to consider food drives of non-perishable items, or hygiene drives of toiletries and personal care products. We will be happy to provide informational materials about our work to share with participants!
Additionally, we ask that donations be delivered in small bags, boxes or bins so our staff and volunteers may carry them easily. Please avoid filling large black trash bags!
