Donating Items

So many families come to Shelter with the bare minimum - a few important papers and a garbage bag of clothes for the children. Because of your support, we are able to provide for the families when they arrive and as they leave the Shelter to set up a new life.

Shelter Needs

Our rule of thumb is anything you use at home, we use 10 times as much of!

On an ongoing basis CVAN needs:

paper products - paper towels and toilet paper
Trash bags - 13 gallon kitchen size and 30 gallon black
Laundry detergent
Zip lock bags - gallon and quart size
Clorox wipes
Spic-n-Span
Mr. Clean
Diapers - sizes 4,5,6
personal care items
basic over-the-counter medicines
Gift Cards - (ie Walmart, Food Lion)
Food - we always need pantry items, but if you have prepared food, please call (704.788.1108). We probably can use it.

For our Specific Needs at this time – Give us a call at 704.788.1108 or email at info@cvan.org
