When families arrive at our facility, they often come with just the clothes on their backs. Thanks to community members and supporting agencies, we are able to provide them with food, clothing, and hygiene products. These items are simple but significant. This is just a basic list of items that victims and survivors request while in our Safe Haven. If you think of something not on our list that you are interested in donating, please contact our office first to see if it is something we can accept or we don't already have. 
If you would like to schedule a time to drop off donations, please contact us at 605-665-4811. 
​Items in Bold on the list below are in greatest need.
We truly thank you for your support!
