Donating Goods
Government funding crucial to Tubman's programming needs has not seen an increase since 2018. To best meet the needs of the people we serve, specific donation lists have been created for the items we need to ease the burden on our budget and provide clients with the supplies they need to aid their journey from fear to freedom. Each month will feature a different theme of needs for the people we serve, to better streamline the process and keep items that are most-needed.
August 2026: Office & School Supplies
While many programs and staff utilize electronic tools to support our clients, many rely on good, old-fashioned office supplies to get the work done. Due to budget constraints, even the paper we use for flyers and brochures; pens for therapy notes and intake sessions; have become a need. Not to mention, the still present need for craft supplies for our youth programming. Your gift of office and school supplies for Tubman staff and the individuals and families we serve can help us keep going!
Donations of these items, unless otherwise specified, should be NEW, UNUSED, FULL-SIZE, and UNOPENED.
