Donation Drives

The reality is that the kids and families we serve often come to us with few (and sometimes no) individual belongings. That means we have ongoing needs for certain clothing and personal care items. During seasons like back-to-school and the holidays, we host donation drives for items specific to those moments in time. 

Below are a handful of different ways to support Maryhurst by donating clothing, therapy tools and other items.

Due to COVID-19, we are not currently accepting gently used items. All items must have new tags.

If you'd like to volunteer with Maryhurst, check out opportunities on this page.
