How to Help
Donate Essential Items
Donations of essential items play a crucial role in helping our residents create new homes and rebuild their lives.
Many survivors are forced to leave behind their personal belongings when they flee to safety. These donations provide our women and children with the necessary resources to start over.
We ask that all donations of essential items are in new, unused, and unexpired condition.

Other Donations
We also accept donations of new or gently used housewares, clothing, shoes, and bedding, but only on a case-by-case basis.
While thoughtful and kind, furniture is better brought to other donation drops or shelters, as we do not have the capacity to store or transport it.
Have something that is not on the list, but you think would be helpful to the women and children of Alice House? Please reach out to us.
