Material Donations and Wish List
What can I donate to Vida?
Please consider helping us restock our shelves so we have the provisions necessary to bless the families we serve! You can donate in one of two ways:
1. Shop from our Registry/Wish List
Our registry serves two important purposes. First, it helps provide essential items like bedding, cleaning supplies, and household necessities to the moms living in our maternity home. Second, it supports our boutique, where moms and dads participating in our Support Services Program can receive free items such as diapers, baby clothes, and the many other essentials needed to care for their little ones. Every contribution directly supports families in need, helping them feel loved and cared for.

How can I host a donation drive for Vida?
Vida has themed donation drives that focus on collecting specific types of items to meet the needs of our clients and residents. For example, our “Moving In” donation drive focuses on gathering items for Trinity House residents who have just moved in. These themes make the drive more engaging and help ensure that donations are targeted to the immediate needs of our clients and residents.
