Wish List
Our wish list contains items that are used for our programs with the most need, such as the Children’s Village Group Homes and our Family Journey Transitional Housing program.
The list consists of everyday items that most people take for granted. We have children that are removed from their home in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Moms with their children that come straight from a shelter without basic home supplies like dishes, laundry soap, and toilet paper.
We have also included not-so-basic items such as Rodeo tickets, U of A athletic passes, and gift certificates for movies, hair cuts, or concerts. Recently our Children’s Village kids got to experience a ride on the Polar Express Train thanks to a generous donation from Polar Express. These gifts provide families opportunities for activities that they may not otherwise be able to do.
If you can’t decide on one gift, we also welcome monetary donations. You can donate through the secure site Pay Pal by clicking here. (You do not need to have a Pay Pal account to use Pay Pal)
