Our Wish List
Our Wish List details the ongoing and most current needs of The Inn. You can use this information to make in-kind donations or organize a special drive to benefit our families. The list includes furnishings, kitchen supplies, non-perishable food, office supplies and equipment, and more. Services such as printing and landscaping may also be needed.
