Urgent Needs

Haven House provides basic needs for the families in our shelter, and for those families in our Partners in Progress program who have moved into their own homes. These items are occasionally purchased, but much of what our families receive was generously donated by members of the community.

All in-kind donations are being accepted Monday-Friday by appointment only . Please contact Aria by email or              (517) 348-0694 to schedule your appointment. Most donations can be found on our Amazon Wishlist and ship straight to our door!

*If you are looking to host a donation drive, please contact Chequoya to discuss the donations before you conduct the drive*

ONGOING CLIENT NEEDS

 

This list is for onsite client needs which includes a Walmart Gift Card for families who enter shelter and only possess the clothing they are wearing as they must have an extra set of clothing to move through our intake process. Clients in need of basic clothing items such as a change of clothes, socks, and underwear receive the gift card to purchase those necessities and move through their intake until this need can be met through other community resources. 
 

  1. $50 Walmart Gift Card 
  2. $25 Gas cards
  3. Face Masks

 

ONGOING HOUSING NEEDS

 
Families moving into their own homes receive an exit package which includes household items to settle them in their new place. To keep up with the demand, we have created an Amazon Wishlist with basic and practical items our families with children need starting out which will ship straight to our door. Though this list has the exact items we are looking for, if you find these items at a store, or if you have some at home in great condition please contact Aria at (517) 337-2731 or by email.       "Accepting  these items is subject to storage space at the time of your donation."
