Donate Items

Woman pushing shopping cart and reaching for household item

Your donations of personal and household essentials help survivors and families build healthier and more comfortable homes.

Ongoing needs:

  • New personal care items in travel or full sizes, including soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, razors, lotions, toilet paper, and first aid kits. We especially need hair and skin products that meet the needs of Black survivors, like those made by Cantu and Palmer’s. Visit this specific Wishlist here.
  • Diapers and wipes.
  • New cleaning and disinfectant supplies, including Clorox wipes, dish soap, laundry detergent, bleach, sponges, and paper towels.
  • Kitchen items, including dishes, silverware, bake wear, glasses, pots and pans, coffee pots, rice cookers, instapots, microwaves, and electric kettles.
  • Air mattresses and new linens, including towels, blankets, and sheets.
  • Prepaid phones, including Tracfones.

You can purchase items from our Amazon Wish List and ship them directly to LifeWire. You can also ensure a percentage of all your purchases benefit LifeWire by making us your Charity of choice via your Smile Amazon account. Set that up here.

Gift cards

Gift cards may not be as exciting to give as other items, but they are one of the easiest ways to make a significant impact. Grocery, gas, and clothing gift cards give survivors the flexibility to purchase the items they need to live safer and healthier lives. It’s also faster and easier for advocates to email, mail, or drop off a gift card than collect and distribute all the items a survivor may need. You can also regift your unused or partially used gift cards. Mail to LifeWire, PO Box 6398, Bellevue, WA 98008.
