What Are the Best Items To Donate to Homeless Shelters?

While organizations accept money, shelters need specific products. Read this list of items to donate to homeless shelters and support local facilities.

Not all homeless shelters are the same, but many need similar items. Of course, money and clothes are suitable donations. However, there are other things facilities need. Look at this list of the best items to donate to homeless shelters.

Personal Hygiene Products

Homeless shelters are one of a handful of places to donate oral hygiene products and other personal care items. People experiencing homelessness may not have consistent access to bathrooms or hygiene products, but shelters offer showers and stalls. You can donate toiletries, bath towels, and grooming items to support personal care. Here are some top items to consider donating:

  • Toothpaste and toothbrushes
  • Dental floss
  • Shampoo and conditioner
  • Deodorant
  • Soap
  • Wash clothes
  • Toilet paper
  • Razors and shaving cream

Feminine Hygiene Products

Feminine hygiene products fall under “personal care” too. Women need access to pads, tampons, liners, and period underwear. Shelters need consistent supplies, and you can help them secure items. Consider donating intimate gel washes, wipes, and hair trimmers too. The products help women manage their menstrual cycles.

Baby Items

Babies are vulnerable, and they can become uncomfortable or sick without essentials like wipes, diapers, and creams. Support shelters with diapers, wipes, lotion, and new baby food or formula. You can also donate clothes and baby blankets. Help parents and guardians experiencing homelessness by providing these essential supplies.

Bedding

Bedding is one of the best items to donate to homeless shelters because it helps facilities provide adequate housing for people. Many shelters already have mattresses and cots, so sheets, blankets, and pillowcases are beneficial donations.

That said, homeless shelters don’t accept used bedding. If you’re concerned about donating the right things, visit your local shelter to discuss their needs. They may need extra mattress liners, children’s blankets, or pillowcases more than standard bedding sets.

Cleaning Supplies

Homeless shelters do their best to maintain clean facilities. However, limited resources affect overall cleanliness. Shelters gladly accept cleaning supplies to ensure a hygienic space for those in need. Consider donating these items to shelters:

  • All-purpose cleaner
  • Mops
  • Garbage bags
  • Paper towels
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Toilet bowl cleaner
  • Hand sanitizers
  • Rubber gloves
  • Laundry detergent

Household Supplies

Some homeless shelters help families and individuals find suitable housing. These facilities offer household items to help people transition into new places. Things like cookware, utensils, shower curtains, bedding, and laundry baskets are must-have essentials for anyone transitioning out of a shelter environment.
