Donate Supplies

We provide the mothers and children who live at Milagro House with basic necessities such as toiletries, cleaning supplies and diapers and wipes. Milagro House is a bustling place! With nine families making this their home, it is easy to go through supplies quickly. Your donation of tangible goods helps offset the cost of providing these supplies.

*Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to accept donations for clothing or furniture. We have a wonderful partnership with CommunityAid, they donate a portion of the sale of items donated in our support back to Milagro House. All you need to do is attach our partner number – 40011 – to the bag/box/container you are donating your items in. Additionally, if you have furniture you would like to donate, we partner with two wonderful organizations for furniture items when needed – Off the Streets and PA Furniture Mission. We highly recommend supporting these organizations!

With storage at a minimum, we are only able to take in-kind donations of items we are in immediate need of. Please visit our Amazon Wishlists to find and order needed items.
