Greatest Needs
In-Kind Donations
Thank you for exploring how best to provide items in support of youth and young adults at Outreach! Consider purchasing and/or donating in-kind items via the Greatest Needs List, Ongoing Needs List and Amazon Wish List. We appreciate the generosity of so many and want to ensure that we are stewarding well items donated and addressing the needs of our youth with excellence. As a result, we’ve created very specific lists of items needed. In the event you have other items that Outreach is not accepting please consider donating items to other organizations in our city who may be interested in rehoming those items.
