Donated goods and services make up 23% of the InnVision annual budget. Donations of needed goods that we do not have to purchase, conserves our limited resources. All usable donated items go directly to clients, free of charge*. By donating new and like new items and your services to InnVision, you help homeless and low-income families and individuals rebuild their lives. In addition, thousands of volunteers donate their time and talents to our programs so that we can successfully serve the men, women, and children who need our help.
List of needed items
All usable* items donated go directly to our clients free of charge*. Click here for a list of frequently needed items. For example, it is not uncommon for a client to arrive at our facilities with just the clothing that they are wearing. It is the goal of InnVision to provide a safe and supportive environment including being able to offer this client a fresh set of clothing, including new socks and underwear, as well as a towel and toiletries. InnVision counts on donations to provide support for the 20,000 clients that we serve annually.
