We provide a move out package for each resident when they move to their new home. The packet includes a laundry basket, small cleaning bucket, sponges, all purpose cleaning spray, small laundry detergent, broom, dust pan, dish soap, one roll of paper towel and 4 pack of toilet paper. 

If your group would like to supply move out kits we’d love to discuss our needs. 

Greeting Cards…

We send a birthday card to each child who stayed with us last year and a welcome to your new apartment card to each family. We typically need cards for all occasions for residents. If you have cards to share we’d love to have you donate them to us. 

Incentive Items…

We have a resident store and always need certain items… silverware, drinking glasses, pots and pans, sets of dishes, cereal bowls, shower curtains and rings, kitchen towels, and always need items for older school aged children, including teens.

Gift Cards…

• We need gas station gift cards to assist with resident transportation needs.
• We take groups of children to McDonalds or Burger King play stations and love gift certificates for a treat.
• We plan monthly mom’s night out for just adults and staff to have one special day per month with children cared for back at Dakota Woodlands. We’d appreciate gift cards to Regal or Marcus Theatres, Pizza places, Cold Stone, Dairy Queen or other fun places.
• We buy much of our groceries from local stores…Rainbow, Cub or Sam’s Club in addition to the Second Harvest Food Bank, so gift cards to any of those stores would be great.

We are extremely grateful for financial contributions, every amount makes a difference.
