Allen Neighborhood Center

We always look forward to sharing hundreds of products of all kinds with our neighbors. Thank you all for helping us to keep this running with all of your generous donations!

Now that we are officially into the summer months, we’re focusing on collecting seasonal items that can help to beat the heat! Below is a list of our seasonal items that would be supportive during these hot days.

Listed below are the most high-need items:

Sunscreen
Aloe Vera Lotion
Portable Fans
Reusable Water Bottles (can be used, but we ask that they are clean upon donation)
Rain Ponchos

If you prefer to donate from home, you can click the link at the bottom of this message to make a monetary contribution. These funds help us buy high demand items and keep our shelves full.

For physical gifts, we ask that all donations are new and unopened. We also appreciate items that are individually wrapped if they are donated in bulk. Donations can be dropped off at our Outreach Center Monday through Thursday between 9am and 5pm.

Please feel free to call us at (517) 367-2468 if you have any questions!
