Gifts In Kind Wish List

United Way Gifts In Kind accepts both new and gently used items. “Gently used” items are not damaged or in need of repair, and have a minimum remaining lifespan of two years. The best way to think about something being “gently used” is if you would feel comfortable giving to a friend or family member.

We encourage contributions of the items listed below, as these are the items most needed by area nonprofits. Note: We also welcome other types of donated goods as well as gift cards from Office Depot, Office Max, H-E-B, Wal-Mart,Target, and Staples.
