Summer is getting closer and we are already making memories in the sun! Last week we spent some beautiful time together for Memorial Day. β€οΈ
Some of our residents could use a little extra support, and these items and supplies could make all the difference in their daily lives. If you feel moved to give, please see this list of our most-requested items. π
To Donate, please contact Barby, our Executive Director, at [email protected].
1. Gently Used Furniture: Items love seats, rugs, side tables, and lamps can make a big difference for our residents. Please check with us before donating to ensure donated items meet safety standards and resident needs.
2. Comfortable Clothing: Soft, easy-to-wear clothing such as sweaters, cardigans, sweatpants, and non-slip socks are always in demand. Items that are easy to put on and take off, such as zip-up jackets or Velcro shoes, are particularly helpful for residents with mobility challenges.
3. Toiletries and Personal Care Items: Personal hygiene products are essential. Consider donating items like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and gentle soaps. Fragrance-free or sensitive-skin products are ideal for our residents. Adding a few luxury items like hand creams or lip balms can feel like a special treat.
4. Activity Supplies: Arts and crafts materials such as coloring books, markers, yarn, and knitting supplies can encourage creativity. Board games, puzzles, and playing cards are also great for group activities that promote social interaction among residents.
5. Kitchen Supplies & Snacks: Many residents appreciate donations of small kitchen items like mugs, utensils, or even simple snack supplies (pre-packaged and easy to consume). Questions about dietary restrictions? Check with us before donating.
6. Decorations and Seasonal Items: Seasonal decorations such as wreaths, table centerpieces, or holiday lights can brighten the common areas and living spaces of residents. These items help create a cheerful, homey
environment.
7. Monetary Donations or Gift Cards: If youβre unsure what to donate, monetary contributions or gift cards to local stores allow us to purchase exactly whatβs needed. These funds can also support IL activities or special events for residents.
