Organize A Donation Drive

You can support what we do well beyond the holiday season by organizing an item drive or a financial donation drive at your workplace, church, or with your group.

Download our general Christmas Wish List or view our Amazon Registry and our Walmart Registry.

Donations of non-perishable food, paper products, laundry pods, comforters, gift cards and more will set our clients up for a successful 2026. These items are always in high demand!

We can also customize this for your group! You can host a targeted donation drive for needed items including:

Gifts for Santa’s Workshop: We need fun gifts for men and women in the $10 to $15 range for Santa’s Workshop. Children will shop in Santa’s Workshop to select gifts for their parent. Gifts should be dropped off at Sheltering Wings by December 8th by 5pm.

A Limited Item Drive: We personalize a short list of 8-10 specific items for your group. If you are interested in one of these drives, please reach out! These items need to be returned by December 23rd or after January 5th as staff may be limited during the holiday break.

Gift Card Drive: Gift cards are needed for groceries (Kroger, Aldi, Walmart), gas for our vans (Kroger, Speedway, BP or Circle K), and Uber for our clients until they get their first paychecks.

Item drives for The Nook: The Nook is our boutique where residents can put into practice “low stakes” fiscal responsibility and savings practices. While we always meet our resident’s immediate needs free of charge, The Nook contains bonus goodies like Bath & Body Works products, makeup, small toys, coloring books, magazines, wallets & purses, perfume/colognes, jewelry, and more.

Email Jess Jones at [email protected]. if you plan to organize a drive or have any questions about how to start one!

Donate From Our Wish List

Sheltering Wings has been able to serve thousands of survivors of domestic violence, along with their children, because of the generosity of our community and churches. Whenever we have announced that we have needs, you have responded. Thank you!

Download our Christmas Wish List for current needs.

By providing day-to-day necessities our residents and children require you will be a massive encouragement to them. They work hard to escape domestic violence and build stable, independent lives at Sheltering Wings. Your donations will ensure we can continue to provide the highest level of care, case management and life-skills training – not to mention, hope – to the women, men and children who currently call the safe confines of Sheltering Wings their home.

If you have questions or if you would like to schedule a delivery, contact Jess Jones at (317) 386-5056.

We are able to accept donations at our facility on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
