Homestretch Wish List

Most families come to Homestretch with few or no belongings. We provide them with everything they need to make a home. Families may keep items when they graduate which means the same unit may be furnished several time over. We depend on donations to maintain a stock of household items.

Homestretch is need of vacuums for our families. Vacuums are provided for each family to help them keep their new home clean. If you would like to donate a vacuum or the money to purchase one please contact Nan Monday or call 703-237-2035    x119.

**Please understand that due to limited storage capacity we may not always be able to accept your items. Donations are accepted on an as-needed basis. Also, your request for donation pick-ups can be processed quickly if you send us photos of the items. Please send photos of your items to info@homestretch-inc.org. Your request will be responded to within twenty four hours.
