Many of the men, women and children we serve don’t have the essentials for daily living. Help us provide nutritious meals, and other essential items so our residents can focus on their path to transformational change. Contact us at kbarnes@hhmission.org or (513) 392-2006 to arrange a collection drive with your friends, co-workers or church. Individuals can drop off donations Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm at 1001 Grove Street, Middletown, OH 45044.
*As the fulfillment of all these items are important, please note:
1) We do not have a clothing pantry, and are unable to accept clothes, linens, and bedding. We also do not accept diapers, baby items or toys.
2) Any item in BOLD is considered an immediate or critical need for our shelter guests!
Many of these items, and additional items are on our Amazon Wish list!
