Contributions Wish List

Your contributions of food and new items for our safe house, transitional living, and children's services help to reduce our operating expenses. Due to the large volume of calls and our limited storage space, we are unable to accept used clothing or furniture. However, gift certificates to discount stores, department stores and supermarkets are especially appreciated.

JBWS is grateful for your donation. All efforts will be made to pass along these donations to our clients. If there is not a current need for your donated items, they may be sold on consignment to benefit the families served by JBWS.

For a more detailed list of current needs, please contact our Volunteer Manager at 973-267-7520 Ext. 129.
