Wish Lists to Change Lives

While demand for services continues to increase during the COVID-19 crisis, resources and critical items to address these needs are in short supply. Canceled fundraisers, loss of fee-for-service and other funding streams have exacerbated our nonprofit partners' struggles. Nonprofit organizations are being forced to make impossibly difficult, relatively immediate decisions.

However, volunteers can provide significant help by purchasing necessary items to support the individuals, families and children that have been hit hard by the pandemic.
