Wish List

The Chum Wish List is where we keep what we need most for each program. Donations can be brought to our administrative office at 102 W 2nd St from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. If possible, please sort your donations into separate bags/containers by item. We do not accept miscellaneous clothing items; kindly take miscellaneous clothing items to the Damiano Center or the Salvation Army.

​

Thank you so much for partnering with us and supporting our mission!

Check out our Amazon Wishlist to have items sent straight to those in need.

​

At the Steve O'Neil Apartments, we have a great need for transportation. The search for a passenger van to help families get to appointments, programs, and other important things has extended for over a year now. If you could help or want to contribute to this, please get in contact with us!
