In-Kind Donation

Donate In-Kind Gifts

Ishtar relies on your generous donations to provide free goods and services to Langley women and children who have experienced violence. During their stay at Ishtar’s transition houses, women are provided with essential supplies, including food, diapers, hygiene products, and clothing. As they prepare to transition out of the houses, Ishtar also endeavors to equip them with start-up hampers containing nonperishable foods, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, and other household essentials. Gift cards are also much appreciated because they enable the women to purchase their specific needs.

How can you help?

While we are grateful for monetary donations, our In-Kind Wish List items are:
