Donate Items
We help hundreds of individuals obtain safe, stable housing and meet their daily needs while on their road to recovery. That means we’re always in need of essential supplies like unopened hygiene items, shelf-stable food, laundry pods, new bath towels and undergarments, and more. Our Amazon Smile Charity Wishlist makes donating items easy, and Amazon will ship directly to Mirci for your convenience. All donations, large or small, are deeply appreciated.
Questions? Email us at mail@mirci.org. If ordering from Amazon, please request a gift tag so we will know who sent the donation and can acknowledge your generosity.
Volunteer
Protecting our clients’ privacy is vital to our mission. For that reason, we don’t use volunteers on a daily or weekly basis. We welcome volunteer help in many other ways, though.
- Help with seasonal yard clean up and building maintenance, especially painting.
- Host a year-round or holiday supply drive.
- Organize a community fundraiser like a garage sale, lemonade stand or other classroom, club, church or sorority/fraternity event.
Please email us at mail@mirci.org if you’d like to make Mirci a beneficiary of your project or event. We can even help with your event marketing materials.
