Our Wish List

If you are looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of people impacted by abuse, supporting Spruce Run is a great way to do so, and there are many ways that you can help. 

A donation of cash affords us flexibility to meet the shifting needs of the people we work with; please visit our donate page to make a monetary contribution. 

If you’re interested in giving time to the organization, please visit our volunteer page. Volunteers answer our hotline, work with children in our shelter and transitional housing programs, organize donations, assist with fundraisers, and help in countless other ways.

If you’d like to make a donation of goods, please read on to find more information about what we need most. Our community has a long history of generously supporting Spruce Run, and so our needs may shift and change. Please check back for updates.

If you have an idea about how you would like to contribute and it isn’t listed here, or if you just have a question about the suggestions below, call us at 945.5102.

Looking to make a regular commitment to help?

There are many opportunities to donate on a regular basis. Perhaps you or your group would like to provide the once-a-month dinner for the community meeting at transitional housing, or the snacks for a weekly children’s group. Please call our office at 945.5102 to find out more about how you can sign on to help.

Looking to do something big?

If you want to make a major contribution to Spruce Run, but a donation of money isn’t what you have in mind, there are plenty of other options. Perhaps you will consider including Spruce Run in your will, or maybe you can supply something from the following list. If you have another idea that you don’t see here, please feel free to call us at 945.5102, as this list is not all-inclusive.

• Playground equipment for shelter
• New computers
• A car (Please contact Charity Cars–Make sure to specify that you want your car to go to someone working with Spruce Run!)
