Support Our Residents by Donating Tangible Goods

Fellowship House residents have very limited incomes and access to resources. We appreciate donations of tangible goods to support their lives and help offset expenses that hamper their ability to make ends meet. Please see our “wish list” below of in-kind donations, as well as, items that we cannot accept due to limited storage and distribution capacity.

Please complete the Charitable Non-Cash Contribution Acknowledgement Form for the items you would like to donate. If you have any questions, or wish to arrange for pick-up of donations, contact Zach Cummings, Director of Fundraising at [email protected] or call 73-860-2569.
