PHI NEEDS
Make a financial donation - Now, more than ever, we need support from community members like you to continue providing everything that recovering men and women in our region need. Your financial support allows us to continue to provide critical services like our telephone counseling services, urgent response programming and also provide free items that our clients need such as blankets, nutritious meals, disinfectant wipes, clean clothing (under-garments for men/women), and more. Our donation link is on the front of our web page.
We accept donations of time with tasks like picking up furniture or donated items.
Please note that NONE of our locations are accepting drop off donations without prior review and needs assessment. Our board member Merethe Dyer coordinates review of donated items and pick up of donations. If you want to donate an item please contact Merethe at merethedyer@gmail.com
