Gift High-Need Items from Catholic Charities Charity Lists:

Catholic Charities serves nearly 23,000 people every year with a diverse range of programs, offering basic necessities and help moving toward greater stability. Essential items such as clothing, personal hygiene items and household goods are always needed as we support those who are experiencing homelessness or rebuilding their lives in a home of their own. We accept unused items from any retailer, however one easy way to donate is through Amazon:

1. Shop our Charity Lists for a curated selection of our most-needed items.
2. “Add to Cart” from a Charity List to conveniently ship donations directly to Catholic Charities Distribution Center.
3. If you would prefer to order items and donate them in-person, the Distribution Center is located 341 Chester St. St. Paul, MN 55107. Please call (612) 204-8295 for directions and to arrange drop off time.
