Safe Harbor Shelter Wish List
Click here to visit the Safe Harbor Crisis Center Web Site
We are in need of basic items to keep the shelter well-stocked, as well as to assist families as they transition into new homes. As a nonprofit organization, we are always appreciative of donations from the community, monetary or otherwise. Below is a current list of items that are needed at Safe Harbor. Items in great need are double-starred.
Because of space constraints, we are only accepting NEW items. Blankets should all be twin sized. Please visit our page often, as we update this wish list on a regular basis.
Due to Health Department licensing requirements, we CANNOT provide expired food to our residents. Please donate expired food to the local food bank (299-8464). We have plenty of tooth paste, toothbrushes, blankets, and winter hats for now. :)
If you would like to donate baby blankets or infant clothing, we have limited space. You can call Canyon Heights as an alternative at 801-402-0550.
Thank you for your contribution to and support of Safe Harbor!
