Donate Items
Donate items to support Doorways’ clients living in shelter and in the community. Items from our Amazon Wishlist and Target and VISA gift cards help keep our shelter stocked with essentials, and help shelter graduates make their new apartments home.

Items We Accept
Due to limited storage space, Doorways only accepts item donations from our Amazon Wishlist and gift cards (Target and VISA preferred).
Why gift cards? Gift cards give the gift of choice, empowering Doorways’ clients to choose their own home and personal care items, from dishes and cookware, to clothing and toiletries, to back-to-school supplies and holiday gifts.
Items We Do Not Accept
Doorways is no longer accepting item donations outside of our Amazon Wishlist due to limited storage space. For alternative places to donate items such as clothing, food, and home goods, please check out our community partners!
