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.

Beds: Single and double mattresses, box springs, frames, cribs and toddler beds

Kitchen Items: Flatware, pots and pans, dishes, glasses, small appliances, vacuums, sewing machines, telephones

Linens: Sheets, towels, blankets, quilts, bedcovers, pillows

Furniture: Dressers, floor and table lamps, rugs, dining room tables and chairs, coffee tables and highchairs

Children’s items: School supplies, arts and crafts materials, camp supplies, disposable diapers, pull-up-pants and baby wipes

Cars: Donate your car, reduce your tax bill! Donated cars are given to homeless families which means the donors can write off the entire blue book value of the car, rather than the auction price, which is usually much lower. 100% of auction proceeds go to provide direct services to homeless families.
