Often the families who stay with us at RMHWM don’t have time to plan or even pack for their stay. Therefore, we rely on our community to help supply items for these families to help lessen their burden. Supplies for our kitchen, pantry, laundry room and guest rooms are crucial so that we can keep provide for families who may otherwise go without the basic necessities.
We invite schools, churches, individuals, families, organizations and employers to set up a collection drive to help us make our House a comfortable home for guests.
To keep it simple, we’re created a few “kits” that are specifically designed to meet the needs for families. We’ve also provided a few links as examples of what we’re looking for. Learn more below:
Please note: RMHWM cannot accept donations of used bedding, clothing, stuffed animals, furniture and pillows.
