Community Support
Our Amazon Wish List is the best place to find our most-needed items, as it’s updated regularly.
Donations can be dropped off at our Administrative Offices (1421 Hamlet St.) Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Appointments are not required, but a heads-up is appreciated. Please email Emily at earmbrecht@huck-house.org.
Please note: We can only accept new clothing and textile items with tags. Please do not take donations to our Crisis Program and Shelter so our staff can stay focused on supporting young people.
A comprehensive list of items needed across our programs. When you order directly from this list, the items ship to us.

You can use the Amazon Wish List, or we can provide a list of items tailored for your group.
