In-kind donations

Your gifts help AHN provide compassionate care and a remarkable experience for the patients and visitors at our care facilities.

The AHN Volunteer Resources Department is able to accept in-kind donations of items for our patients and programs. You can find a list of items we need most below. We are grateful and appreciative of all donations.

Email the Volunteer Department at the facility where you’d like to donate prior to dropping off any items. We’ll schedule a time and date to accept your donation.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still able to accept some donations of brand-new items. The best way to give back is by fundraising and making a monetary contribution to your preferred AHN Volunteer Resource Program. This allows us to purchase items on your behalf from our trusted suppliers and limit the number of hands in the donation process. Please email the Volunteer Department at the facility you wish to donate to.
