Wish List

At The Providence Center, we provide more than behavior health services to families, children, adolescents and adults.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. But you can help us change this. These new or gently used items may not seem like much, but they greatly improve the lives of our clients and bring them hope, faith and comfort.

We request that items be new or GENTLY used (no holes, burns, tears, major stains, breaks). Donation pick-up can be costly and time-consuming. For this reason, The Center reserves the right to refuse certain donations.

We have many gift in-kind needs for our clients but the below list is the most critical.

• Blank Journals(non-wire bound) and Pens
• Christmas Decorations & Wrapping Supplies
• Cleaning Products (mops, buckets, all purpose cleaners, sponges)
• Clothes (NEW Men’s and Women's undergarments and socks, flannel shirts, sweat shirts,)
• Coffee Tables
• Couches (5’ maximum length – no sleeper sofas)
• Craft Kits, Crayons, Markers
• Date Books/Daily Planners
