Alternative Donations
For youth making the transition off the
streets and into permanent housing, the experience is exciting
and often daunting at the same time. Limited financial means
often plays a role in a youth’s ability to afford everyday
household items we might take for granted. You can assist
in making this transition easier through providing some basic
necessities for a new home. THE DOORWAY accepts donations
of home essentials and other items that help make the transition
into housing and the work force more comfortable.
