DONATION AND CASEWORKERS WELCOME DURING HOURS IN RED - NO CLIENTS *
We recommend that caseworkers come with clients due to the language issues and the fact that you know their situation of need.  In the case of furniture, clients can come alone if they have a confirmation letter and can communicate well with us.

We realize that furniture transportation is a problem. Clients can come alone during pickup hours to get furniture as long as they have a confirmation letter.  They must have transportation for the large items. We do not tag or hold goods.

A wish is good for 30 days.

If we do not have an item, we are happy to extend a wish and work with you to get your client that item. Beds are always in short supply. 

Caseworkers can come alone and shop at your convenience for small goods such as clothing, small home and baby goods. Please just fill out our forms when you are at the warehouse.  

Coats are available in our waiting room NO PAPERWORK NECESSARY during winter months.  No wish is needed for those coats and clients may stop by and pick them up due to the urgent nature of the need.    We appreciate a wish, but if it is am emergency we are going to try this system.

Membership pays! Programs can join under large agencies and get their own lot of goods

The average value of goods given out per client out is ~ $60 if your client went to a thrift store to purchase the same items 

Furniture for one apartment has a thrift store value of  ~ $600/family  (used beds are free and new beds are $80, which is what we pay to get them)

Seasonal Project goods (such as backpacks, Easter Baskets or Christmas gifts average in value ~ $40/person

In December of 2006, our Wish Christmas the Project alone gifted 7,000 plus clients for a total value of $160,000 worth of new goods

This area is for social service agencies and their representatives only

For agencies that place more than 6 wishes per year, we do appreciate your support by paying a one-time $250/year for 2008 membership fee.  However, we do not limit wish goods based on a fee (used goods that are donated to us).   If you have clients in need, we are happy to accept your wishes.  We appreciate your support and most agencies find that participating in even one project is worth the price of the fee.  

Premium and new goods are limited to member agencies: backpacks, turkey baskets, Mother's Day gift bags, Christmas gifts and much more.   

DOES YOUR AGENCY SERVE A LARGE POPULATION AND HAVE MANY SITES AND PROGRAMS? Sub programs are encouraged to pay a fee and join as well.  For each fee, a group gets an equal share of that season's new goods.  

Thank you all for what you do everyday to help the needy in the Merrimack Valley.  Your feedback about this site is appreciated. Contact us
