In-Kind Donations
Emergency Shelter Wishlist

Survivors of abuse and their children often have to part with personal belongings and the necessary household items to start over. To address these losses and help families reestablish their homes, we graciously request these much-needed items to help bring back a sense of normalcy. 

Some ideas include nonperishable food, full-size toiletries, and "Welcome Baskets" for our shelter.

CLOTHING

Fearless! does not accept donations of gently-used clothing.  We have an extremely limited amount of storage space. To help us manage these offers and use them more efficiently, we recommend donating to local thrift shops that use the funds raised to benefit their community, or whom are able to assist clients of Fearless! by referral.

  • The Newburgh Ministry Thrift Store in Newburgh 845-561-0070
  • The Hope Chest Thrift Boutique in Pine Island/Warwick which is home to a FREE clothing bank called "The Clothing Closet". More information can be found on their website.
  • Red Door Thrift Shop in Goshen 845-294-5521
  • Country Store Thrift Shop in Washingtonville 845-496-8015
  • Bloomingdeals in New Windsor, which benefits the Hudson Valley SPCA 845-561-3180

FURNITURE

Fearless! does not have the ability to pick up, nor store, furniture donations at this time. We are only able to accept gently-used furniture when there is an immediate need and the donor is able to deliver. Other arrangements are sometimes possible with Bloomingdeals of New Windsor, or you may consider Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh's ReStore or your local Salvation Army.

Please email us at admin@fearlesshv.org with your offer of furniture and include include the following information:

  • Clear photos of each item
  • In respect to those with allergies, please tell us whether or not the furniture is from a smoke-free, pet-free home. 
  • If you are able to deliver, what is the radius (we work with clients in both Orange and Sullivan Counties). 
  • Let us know if there is a time frame in which you need to move the furniture. Please note that, due to the complex safety concerns and confidentiality surrounding the work that we do, in most cases we will not be able to coordinate a furniture donation with less than 48 hours notice.
