Donate Helpful Items

Victims of human trafficking and gender-based violence often need help rebuilding their lives.

We accept donations of:

• Used mobile phones and charging cables, which can be a lifeline for victims of human trafficking and domestic violence as they plan their escape from their abuser
• Gift cards for grocery, pharmacy, food, clothing or online stores
• Full sized (not sample/hotel sized) toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash and face wash
• Diapers and formula
• Boxes of maxi pads and tampons

Unfortunately, we do not have the storage capacity to accept clothing, toys or household items.
