In-Kind Wish List
A cash donation is not the only way to help B:E. You can also help us by providing in-
kind contributions of many items that will enable us to better serve former foster youth.
Here are some suggestions:
Food Pantry
It is often said what a shame it is that people go hungry in the United States in the 21st
century - and we agree. Sadly, many of our clients know first-hand what it is like to
experience hunger. We keep a small pantry in our office stocked with nonperishable,
single-serve, easy to prepare food items so that when a youth tells us they haven't eaten
lately, we can offer them a little something. Some of the most popular items are below:
- Ramen Cup Noodles
- Easy Mac
- Granola/Cereal Bars
- Crackers
- Fruit Cups
- Tuna Lunch Kit
- Instant Oatmeal
- Peanut Butter/Cheese Crackers
- Trail Mix
- Dried Fruit
- Nuts
- Individual Cereals
- Pretzels
Toiletries
We welcome each new resident to our transitional housing program with a starter kit of
basic toiletries. We also keep an emergency supply of toiletry items for youth in need. Some of the essential items we need in order to provide this service are (travel or hotel sizes are perfect):
- Soaps
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Shaving Cream (Men's/Women's)
- Razors (Men's/Women's)
- Deodorant
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrushes
