Wish List/In-Kind Donations
The Wendt Center for Loss and Healing welcomes your in-kind donations! Many of our programs benefit from in-kind gifts, which are greatly appreciated and have tremendously positive effects on the children and adults we serve. It is simple to make an in-kind donation! Please be assured that we will provide you with a tax donation letter, and — in some cases — can coordinate pick ups. You may donate working/functional items that you already own and have no use for or purchase new. If you have a question about a donation, please call Ricarda Dowling, 202-204-5010.
Following are some items that would be helpful. If you prefer to make a donation (via cash, check, credit card) to cover the cost of any of the listed items, email or call 202-204-5010.
