Donate Items
No gift is too large or small to help our neighbors in need! Your contribution of household essentials, furniture, and even a car or a home will make a difference in someone’s life.
Daily Essentials
Love Columbia works with clients in a variety of situations. To support our clients with daily essentials, consider donating items from the following list or purchasing from our Amazon wishlist:
Laundry Detergent/supplies
Cleaning Supplies – Dish soap, household cleaners, hand soap, etc.
Paper Products – Toilet Paper, paper towels
Grocery store gift cards – Wal-mart, Aldi, Hyvee, Gerbes, etc.
Diapers – all sizes
Hygiene supplies – full-size, new shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.
Click the Providing Essentials button to learn about drives, kits, and more!
Though every bottle of shampoo and roll of toilet paper is helpful, your church, civic group, or business can make a bigger difference by holding a personal hygiene drive.
Furniture and Household Items
Larger items such as furniture and household necessities are needed at our Furniture Bank. Families moving into a permanent home often need:
Living room furniture
Bedroom furniture (beds and dressers)
Dining room tables and chairs.
Gently used clothing
Visit the Love Seat or call 573-303-6198 to schedule a donation for drop off or pick up.
Cars
Your old car served you well for years – how about one more memory before you part with her? When you donate your car to Love Columbia, someone will have a safer, easier way to get to work, pick up their children from school, and get to church. You can deduct the appraised value of the car and we’ll provide a tax receipt and steer you to other forms you’ll need.

Homes
Transitional housing is a proven model for moving families from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Love Columbia currently oversees seven Transitional Homes and would love to add more! If you have a home you would like to donate or could provide free, long-term rental space, contact us at office@lovecolumbia.org.
