Providing families with the essential items during their stay.
Donate Goods
Our House is just like your home – we need the basics and more to comfort and support families. By providing essential items, RMHC allows families to focus on what’s most important – the health of their child.
Often the families who stay with us at RMHCWM 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.
Shop on Amazon
You can make an extraordinary difference with ordinary, everyday items to keep the House running and help families feel at home.
An easy way to support children and families is to shop and purchase items from our Amazon Wish Lists. Items can be shipped directly to the House and make a difference for families immediately!
