One way to support Ozanam’s mission is through the donation of items we use daily at the shelter. 

These items include:

• Paper towels

• Toilet paper (standard size, large roll)

• All purpose cleaning supplies

Each family who stays at Ozanam receives a hospitality kit filled with essentials. The kit’s a simple but important way we can make our residents more comfortable during this stressful time.

• Bath towels

• Wash cloths

• Hand towels

• Standard-sized pillows

• Blankets (twin and full)

• Sheet sets (twin and full)

• Canned fruit

• Canned vegetables

• Ground beef

• Pork loin

• Chicken breast

• Canned tuna and chicken
