Wish List

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Memory_Hutch1In-kind donations are important to The Sharing Place because they help keep our costs down (and we make new friends).

The items listed below are ones we use regularly. The list changes constantly. In the past, we have received wonderful "random" donations that have not appeared on our wish list. If you have something that needs a good home, please run it by us even if it is not on our list. We also have a secret dream wish list that we reveal from time to time and would be happy to share upon request.

All donations are important to us and are acknowledged in writing for tax purposes and to express our appreciation.

The Sharing Place Experience

I liked having time to share feelings and experiences with other adults who had suffered similar losses and had children who were grieving. I gained valuable knowledge on how to deal with grief in different ways and learned there is no one way to feel or deal with the grief process.
