Some of the items on our wish list reflect one-time only needs but most represent the on-going needs of running the house. Every in-kind donation allows us to stretch our donated dollars that much further. 

​

We prefer to accept donations Monday through Friday, 8am-3pm, but will try to be accommodating. Because Fisher House is a private home, we ask that individuals and groups please call ahead  in order to arrange a time to drop off donations. Thank you.
