This list shows the items still needed for the emergency shelter called “the Door” that will open fall of 2013. We have received many contributions of furniture and we’re very grateful to the community for this support. Due to the generosity, our storage unit is completely full and at this time we are not able to take any more furniture. If you have any non-furniture items to donate, please contact sarah@fairbanksyouthadvocates.org or call (907) 378-5975 for drop off information.

Please see other ideas for giving under the Be An Advocate tab above.
