Aunt Leah’s Donation Wishlist and FAQ’s

Thank you for your interest in supporting foster kids and young moms. This page will be updated regularly, but we encourage you to call ahead to confirm as our needs change frequently according to our participants’ individual situations and the public health advice during the COVID pandemic.

At this time we’re only accepting drop-off furniture donations by appointment at the warehouse. Please read below for details. Our youth and families will still be able to make arrangements to access emergency household items and have them delivered to their homes during this period.

Our most urgent needs at this time are:

• Small Appliances & Kitchen Items– We need toasters, blenders, coffee makers, and other small appliances
• Small Apartment Sized Furniture – end tables, coffee tables, bookshelves, dining tables, dressers, and chairs, etc.

All items must have all of their original pieces, be in working condition, and be clean and reusable. We only offer our participants the best experience with their move-in, items and furniture they can be proud of, and the chance to live independently.

What items do you NOT accept?

• Mattresses
• Bed frames
• Entertainment units
• Very large furniture pieces – sofas, desks, hutches, china cabinets, TV stands, large appliances (stove, dishwasher)
• Bedding – pillows, duvets
• Bathroom accessories – mats, towels, shower curtains
• Toiletries
• Electronics – televisions, computers, fax machines, printers, etc.
• Kids clothing

We sometimes send extra donations to Other Partnering Organizations – homeless shelters and other social enterprises

Any broken or unusable items end up being recycled or dumped at a cost to the organization and affects the proceeds to the foster kids and young moms. Please donate accordingly.
