Other Donations:
Herizon House is endlessly thankful for the continued support that we receive from the community. Your generous donations have the ability to make a positive difference in the lives of women and children who are forced to leave their homes and all that is familiar to them in order to find safety in our shelter. We genuinely appreciate all donation efforts, but regretfully cannot accept some items due to health and safety reasons and lack of storage options. Here is a list of the items that cannot be accepted, although we do appreciate the thought:
- Used children’s toys
- Large furniture items
- Baby furniture and equipment (cribs, strollers, play pens, car seats, etc.)
The following is a list of ways you can help and items that we are able to accept as donations. Thank you for your support!
