Donate Necessities
Due to Nevada/Washoe County COVID-19 concerns and to comply with Governor Steve Sisolak’s “Stay at Home” order, we have suspended the acceptance of used or gently used donated material goods for the donation room until further notice. It is our hope that by decreasing the traffic at our Vassar Street administrative facility we will reduce the likelihood that our clients, staff/volunteers and donors will be potentially exposed to the virus. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you as a community donor, and we thank you for your patience.
Other ways to support us include:
Shop for items on our Amazon Wish List by visiting: https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/28AX99XL1GCYU/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl
Purchase needed items represented as graphics below, we kindly ask that all of the items be new.
Please address all donations to our administrative facility at 1735 Vassar Street Reno, NV 89502. Lastly, please contact Katie Melkonian at katiem@domesticviolenceresourcecenter.org to confirm that you have made a donation.
