Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program

Collect Items to Meet Patient Needs

Each year a network of dedicated supporters collects and donates new and gently used items for Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program patients. With declines in government support, our patients depend more than ever on private donations. Current needs include:

• New, white socks
• New and gently used sneakers (adult sizes)
• Gift Cards for:

       Dunkin' Donuts,

       McDonald's and other fast food restaurants,

       Target and other chain clothing stores,

       Phones and

       Grocery Stores

• New underwear (adult sizes)
• Toiletries (non-alcohol based, no bars of soap)
• Backpacks and fanny packs
• Flip-flops (shower shoes) in adult sizes
• Arts & crafts supplies (paints, brushes, beads, art paper, colored pencils, markers and specialty items)
• Yarn, crochet hooks, latch hook kits and supplies
• Small gift items (used for BINGO prizes) such as crossword puzzle books, hair clips, travel mugs, etc.
