Genesis Home



Gift Cards

Almost everyone you know has an ongoing list of necessities they need to run their household and do necessary repairs. But what if your house had 15 adults and 35 children????  Genesis Home does! Our staff purchases the necessary equipment to keep our house running smoothly and our repairs up to date. Please consider donating a gift card from Wal-Mart or Lowes Home Improvement and you know that your gift will go directly to our most urgent needs.


Emergency Kits

To prepare for any emergency, we keep emergency supplies on hand to build kits for our families.  Please consider donating the following:

First Aid Kits

Blankets

Flashlights with batteries

Protein and Granola Bars

Hand Sanitizer

Pack Wet Wipes


 

Additional Needs List

Genesis Home has an ongoing need for supplies for the families we serve.  The agency runs on a very frugal budget and couldn't offer our clients these basic needs without support from our community.  New items are preferred, but very gently used items are always appreciated.  The needs list is updated weekly and the most desperately needed items are in bold.

 

If you have an item you would like to donate that is not listed here please contact Tasha Melvin at 919-683-5878 ext. 28 or volunteer@genesishome.org to confirm that we are able to accept these items at the present time.
