Thank you for your willingness and desire to donate items to the residents at the H.E.R. Shelter. Our donation program is currently as follows:
What we can always accept
• The HER Shelter is accepting items all year round that are considered essential for shelter life (listed on the donation request list located on the page below) These items can be delivered by scheduling an appointment with our volunteer coordinator Dominique or by ordering them on our Amazon Wishlist, where they get sent directly to the HER Shelter office

Clothing donation program
• Although we are unable to accept clothing on a consistent basis, we plan to hold 4 or more clothing donation drives each year, one at the beginning of Summer, Spring, Winter & Fall to help replenish our closets for the upcoming season. When dates and details for the clothing drives are confirmed, they will be announced via our active email list and Facebook page. To be added to our email list, please click HERE and let us know.
Furniture donation program
When our clients successfully leave the shelter program and begin a new journey in their own place, more often than not they are unable to provide the essential needed items to make a home. The items listed below are appreciated. Delivery is needed as we are unable to offer pickups at this time. Please email Melody@hershelter.com for additional details
- Twin, Full & Queen sized mattresses and box springs
- Kitchen table and chairs
- Couches and other living room furniture
- Microwaves
Facebook Wishlist Wednesdays
• Oftentimes we will have a special, essential request for a resident or child in need such as a car seat, baby formula, air mattress, etc.. We post these requests on Wednesdays as "Wishlist Wednesday" on our Facebook page to inform the community of the need
