Host a Donation Drive

Donation drives are a great way, not only to get involved yourself but to also get your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers involved in the important work of supporting victims of domestic violence. See how you can participate in one of our drives as well as how you can start your own.

ONGOING DRIVES:
WELCOME HOME BASKETS:
Our goal is to welcome each family who walks through our doors this year with a basket provided by our generous donors, showing our families that they are supported during this difficult time.
SMARTPHONE/CELLPHONE COLLECTION:
Collection of unused cellphones and smartphones is a great way to give back. Proceeds from a cell phone collection can raise thousands of dollars for much-needed programs and services.
FOOD DRIVE:
Help feed our families while they work to rebuild their lives. Non-perishable food donations are extremely important to Women In Distress.
ARTS & CRAFTS FOR KIDS:
Donate Arts & Crafts supplies for children participating in our programs.
