Current Material Gift Needs

We only accept specific donations that we will be able to use directly in our ministry outreaches. We do not accept donations of clothing or furniture. If you have something else that you feel might be of use to us, please call first (715-409-3506) before donating. We recommend donating items that we cannot accept to Goodwill (715-355-9452), St. Vincent de Paul (715-298-3028) or AbleLight Thrift (715-845-1878). Each of these agencies are generous with us when we refer a person in need.

– 2 Corinthians 9:10
