Home / Get Involved / Donate Needed Items

Donating items from the needs lists directly helps Abby’s House focus on the needs of women and children who live in the four properties, or helps Abby’s House focus funding in areas that are most needed. If you are looking for more information about making a donation to our Thrift Shop, please visit our Thrift Shop page.

If you plan to drop off items in-person, please email to schedule a drop off time. Once a time has been scheduled and you arrive to drop off your donation, please bring the items inside the doors and place them on the cart that’s located at the right-hand side of the lobby. Reception staff will be there to welcome you and assist you with any questions. Please do not leave items outside unannounced.

You can purchase many of the items listed above on our Amazon WishList to easily support the women and children of Abby’s House! Please note your name and contact information with your Amazon order so Abby’s House can thank you for your support!
