Year-Round Needs
Imagine having over 100 house guests every year. The wear and tear on your household items would be a lot to keep up with! That’s why we’re always looking for donations of new, unused items to replenish the stocks of basic household goods we maintain in our three residential programs and to help celebrate special occasions (birthdays, holidays, graduations) in the lives of the survivors and children we serve.
Contact Paola at pmateo@casamyrna.org to organize a drive or drop-off today.
Our greatest need is generally for household items, including linens, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, and baby items. We are currently in urgent need of all sized diapers (except size 3) and wipes. All donated items, including clothing, shoes, and winter items, must be new.
