Support Our Work
There are many ways to give.
Our current wish list
Please note that, in general, we do not accept used clothing or linens due to space and cleaning limitations. The Outreach program may accept certain items at certain times of year; please call 795-6831 with questions about used clothing or linens.
***Please note that under social distancing, MAILED donations are preferred. We are accepting no-touch donation drop offs of items from our wish list only on weekdays at 134 College Street in Lewiston. Please ring the intercom at the main side entrance and leave items outside the door under the overhang with a note with your contact information so we can send a thank-you letter.***
