Our Donation Wishlist

The Family Violence Center shelter has the same needs as your own home. Think of what you buy on a weekly basis and multiply that by 40 families and you will have what we need for our shelter. Everyday needs such as food, toilet paper, personal care items, dental care items etc.

Perhaps you could spend one day tracking what you use and need for normal, everyday living, then write it down and perhaps when you go to the store, you can pick up two - one for you and one for the shelter women and children.

The Family Violence Center has some suggestions of items listed below. They go to the people we serve and to the programs and services which directly affect our clients.

Generally, these items are always needed due to our ever changing client base. Don't panic viewing the list and say that there is no way you can get all of these things. Pick out one or two and get just those. If everyone donates just a little; it will add up to a lot.

We also have needs for certain items at specific times of the year such as holidays, back to school and other times.

Please contact the Family Violence Center at 417-837-7700 or email fvc@familyviolencecenter.org about special needs not listed below or information about making donations.

Thank you for thinking of the victims of domestic violence in your community.
