CornerHouse Wishlist

At CornerHouse, we value community involvement. One of the easiest ways for people to get involved and feel as though they are making a difference is through physical donations. This can come in a variety of ways such as donating a dinner to one of our therapy groups, purchasing toys and art materials for children at CornerHouse, providing gift cards for families in need and much more! This is a great opportunity to get involved and see the difference you make. Scroll to the bottom to see our monthly needs!

YOU MAKE HEALING POSSIBLE!

Essential Items That Make Great Year‑Round Resource Drives

Families who walk through the doors of CornerHouse often arrive during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Alongside safety, compassion, and advocacy, we strive to meet their immediate, practical needs. The items below are the most commonly requested essentials — and we rely on ongoing community support to keep them stocked.

Your donations ensure that children and caregivers have what they need not just during the holidays, but every single day of the year.

Winter Clothing Drive

Warm clothing is one of the most urgent needs for families, especially during Minnesota’s long winters. We collect new hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, socks, boots, and coats for children and teens year‑round. Neutral colors are especially helpful, as they work well for a wide range of ages and preferences. Having these items on hand allows us to provide comfort and warmth the moment a family needs it.

Hygiene Supply Drive

Basic hygiene items are essential for dignity and daily well‑being. We accept donations of full‑size products such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair products, and menstrual supplies. Travel‑size items are appreciated but full‑size bottles are most useful for the families we serve and are requested most often.

Food & Gas Gift Cards

Gift cards are one of the most impactful ways to support families in immediate need. Cards to grocery stores, big‑box retailers, and gas stations help caregivers cover essentials, get to appointments, and keep daily life moving during stressful times. Even small denominations make a meaningful difference.

Your Support Matters

Whether you donate once or organize a drive with your workplace, school, or community group, you help ensure that every child and family who comes to CornerHouse feels supported, cared for, and seen. Contact Stacey Jensen at stacey@cornerhousemn.org for more information
