Our wish list to serve the poor

WISH LIST

We deeply appreciate donations we receive from generous and kind donors like you who help us make the most of our resources.

To guide donations so they will have the greatest impact, we compile this list of requests directly from our programs serving the homeless and poor.

We also list contact information for your questions and arranging donation drop-off.
Like financial donations to the Ministry, your gifts to our programs are tax-deductible. We thank you in advance for your continued support and kindness to the poor.
