Amazing organization helping families in need. One of the best to donate too! I was also able to coordinate a group service project. Great opportunity to give back to the community.

Amazing! My donations were accepted and the employees or Volunteers were SO thankful and appreciative. They took care with everything and it was not just thrown into a rolling cart. My new goto donation spot.

I really like working with this organization. We helped with a weeding project and a Group Food Drive. It's nice to be able to help other families in our community. 🙂

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Everything House of Refuge collects through donations either goes directly to the residents or, because space and storage is limited, are passed on to other non-profits who can use them (depending on currently inventory of items for residents).

I own an international makeup company and have some products I would like to donate. Is there a need for makeup for the women at your shelter?

Kristin Blumetti | Oct 13, 2018
Apache “Solutions” Flooring | Oct 13, 2018

I Do flooring through red mountain carpet and tile out there at house a refuge and any donation helps these women. They get grants to go to college and learn how to do applications to apply for new jobs so makeup will help just as much as anything. Its also not just women it's homeless families male or female.

House of Refuge - Donation Center | Oct 5, 2022

Hi Michael, thank you for thinking of us. We do take gently used love seats or chairs, end tables and lamps. The entertainment center (depending on size) and sofa might be too big for our small houses. We are 1000 sq.ft with 4-5 people living in them. We do offer a vet-owned pick-up service called ReSupply. You will find them on our website houseofrefuge.org under donate. However, please understand they are a business and are not free pick up. Thank you once again!
