Wish List

At The Providence Center, we provide more than behavior health services to children, adolescents, adults and families. We provide our clients with hope, compassion and a place to turn to for help.

Many of our clients arrive at The Providence Center with nothing—no clothing, no shelter, and no hope. You can help us to change this. The items on the following list may not seem like much, but they will greatly improve the lives of our clients and bring them comfort and hope.

We request that items be new or GENTLY used (no holes, burns, tears, major stains, breaks). We do not pick up donations and reserve the right to refuse certain donations.

We have many gift in-kind needs for our clients. The most critical are listed below:

• Blank journals (non-wire bound) and pens
• Christmas decorations and wrapping supplies
• Cleaning products (mops, buckets, sponges)
• Clothes (NEW men's and women's undergarments and socks, flannel shirts, sweat shirts,)
• Coffee tables
• Craft kits, crayons, markers
• Date books/daily planners
• Diapers/pull-ups
• End tables
• Jewelry
• Magazine subscriptions
• NEW towels, face clothes
• Shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shaving cream, razors, hand cream 
• Sculpting clay
• Stickers/stamps (i.e. "Good Job" Stars, "Excellent")
• Table lamps
• NEW winter clothing – coats, hats, scarves, gloves, boots

Also needed are NEW children's toys so our adult client population will have something to give their children at the holidays.
