In-Kind

In Kind

REAL LIFE gratefully accepts gifts-in-kind of new or very gently used items to support our mission. We are happy to provide you with a receipt for your donation. We do not currently accept clothing, as we do not have space to store it. We suggest donating new or gently used clothing to either Life4Real or The Junior League of Richmond’s Clothes Rack, as both organizations provide clothing for new Lifers. We also suggest donating baby and children’s clothing as well as baby gear (i.e. pack and plays) to our partners at Little Hands Virginia. They also support the women in our Motherhood program.

Below are items we generally need. We also have an Amazon Wishlist, if you wish to place an order and ship directly to us.

  • Twin Mattresses (new only)
  • Twin Sheet Sets
  • Twin Bed Comforters
  • Twin Blankets
  • Bed Pillows (new only)
  • Bath Towels, Washcloths (new only)
  • Cleaning Products (new only)
  • Laptop Computers
  • Amazon Fire Tablets

We also gratefully accept the donation of tickets or gift cards to allow us to provide pro-social activities for Lifers. This could include tickets to a baseball game or the symphony, a gift card to provide a dinner out for a REAL House, or admission tickets to play mini-golf.

Finally, we accept donations of gift cards, services, and new items for our Portraits of Hope Gala Silent Auction every year.

Contact Kristen Johnson Reiser, Director of Development and Community Engagement at (804) 406-4111 or kristen@reallifeprogram.org to make arrangements to drop off in-kind donations or if you have additional questions about opportunities.
