WISH LIST

and to help our clients establish new households once they have escaped their abusers.
We are no longer able to accept clothing at our main office,

                 Seasonal Needs

August - September has a high need for children's lunch box items and school supplies. 

September - October is the time we begin our Halloween candy drive. In addition to delivering something special to our clients' children, Coastal Women's Shelter has a higher involvement in community outreach programs and events. Halloween candy is a special commodity we can always use. We also hope for children's Halloween costumes. 

November - December is a valuable time for holiday items. All donated items are disbursed to our Safe House and our clients house in 3 counties. We also have a need for Christmas decor, trees, lights, ornaments, wrapping paper, children's gifts, and gifts for women.
