You Can Meet Families’ Everyday Needs
We don’t want to get too personal, but we use more than $25,000 of toilet paper each year. (Now, that’s a lot of toilet paper!) Thanks to our generous community, most of the everyday household and cleaning supplies are donated.
Wish List Drives
Rally your friends, co-workers and community to hold a Wish List Drive. Below is our everyday Wish List. Our urgent Wish List needs are listed on our Facebook page. We also maintain our wish list on Amazon.
If you drop off your items in person, be sure to ask us for a tour of RMH to learn how your donations are put to work for the kids and families who stay with us.
