In-Kind Donations

What we accept:

We need your support

Since just 2020, we have seen a 167% increase in Emergency food need, and a 108% increase in toiletry need.

 

In 2022/2023, we distributed the equivalent of $32,800 of non-perishable groceries and $35,900 of toiletries at an approximate value of $50 per bag through our Emergency Food and Toiletry Program, which supports 200+ women on the North Shore annually.

​

But, we need your help to keep our pantry shelves stocked. Please consider supporting our work with an in-kind donation of non-perishable groceries or toiletries today!
