Wish List

Wish List

We strongly encourage monetary donations that provide us the flexibility to address our needs as they arise but are grateful for your continued support of our in-kind needs. Your donations of gifts & supplies help support the daily activities of our programs and create special moments for the women as they move through their journey here at Marian House.

To arrange a drop off or to coordinate a gift drive, please call Beth Myers-Edwards at (410)467-3609 or email bb@marianhouse.org.

Some of our wishes can be found through our Amazon wish list. If you'd like to ship an in-kind donation please send it to the attention of Beth Myers-Edwards at 949 Gorsuch Ave. Baltimore, MD 21218. We encourage you to put a note with your package including your name and contact information so we can adequately acknowledge your gift.

Please note: We do not generally accept furniture or used clothing donations. Please consult the list below for any current exceptions based on urgent needs. When supporting our food pantry, bulk items are always best to accommodate our limited storage space.
