In-Kind Donations Wish List

We know how to respond to disasters. We know how to coordinate and engage volunteers. We know how to conserve our natural resources. And we know how to build the capacity of our partners in the community. But often these assignments call for resources, many of which need to need to be replaced or replenished on an annual basis.

Below is a specific list of needs. However, if you feel you have something that you feel can make a significant difference in the lives of our children or disaster response, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We would also greatly appreciate Frequent Flier Miles and Hotel Points that could be used for disaster responses.

Contact (314) 772-9002 to coordinate in-kind donations.
