current needs list Help us provide essential household items to help make our families feel at home in shelter and as they move into their own housing. All donated items should be new and unopened. No trial or travel sized items. Purchase items below or shop one of our online wish lists and have them shipped to our shelter. If you have any questions, please email donations@safehaven.org. If you have items to donate that we cannot accept, please consider donating them to ThriftSmart (thirftsmart.com) and indicate the items are in support of Safe Haven Family Shelter. This helps us earn credits that families can use to purchase items they need.
