Individuals or groups can be of great assistance by organizing a canned food drive, snack drive, office supply drive, or personal care drive. We accept donations at any time of the year, or on an on-going basis. Donations are received Monday through Friday from 9:00am – 5:00pm.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are currently not accepting children's toys, used clothing, or infant items.


WHAT DO WE NEED?

4 EASY WAYS YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Make a Financial Donation

Through the Department of Family and Children’s Services, A Friend’s House receives a per diem for each child, which covers approximately 54% of a child’s stay. We rely on donations from individuals and businesses, along with grants and fundraisers, to make up the remaining 46% of our budget each year.
