Wish List

Updated as of 3/9/2023

adopt a room: bedding & textiles

Hundreds of teens pass through our youth shelters every year.  We try our best to make bedrooms welcoming and cozy for youth who experience trauma. It's not uncommon for youth to leave our shelter with blankets and sheets from their rooms -- because they lack these things at home.  So, replacement of linens and room refreshes are an ongoing need -- especially in St. Cloud and Rochester. 

We are accepting NEW:
  • Twin size sheets, XL and standard
  • Twin size pillowcases
  • Lightweight comforters
  • Matching cotton rug
  • Small desk accessories to match
  • Small pillow for desk chair
  • Matching art work and command strips
  • Work with us to identify needs for window treatments
  • Consider a painting project of one of the bedrooms or all
  • Good at organizing? Help design an inventory management system to store and rotate textiles
If you, your family, church group, or business would like to partner with us to adopt a bedroom, our team will work with you.  
Contact delaney.anderson@180degrees.org

gifts cards & cash

​We welcome your cash donations and gift cards in any denomination for youth, adults, and families living in our shelters or enrolled in our poverty-fighting case management programs.

Our programs seek to empower clients to make their own choices. So, providing a gift card – of any size – supports that. Many clients lack transportation, so gift cards to easily accessible places work best.

Gift cards are also used as incentives throughout the year to provide motivation to achieve goals and small rewards when goals are accomplished.
​
We suggest:
VISA, Walmart, Target, Cub Foods, Sam’s Club, Costco, Subway, Jimmy John’s, Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, Dominos, McDonald’s, Burger King

not accepting donations of clothing at this time 

Volunteers recently cleaned out and organized a large amount of in-kind donations, so we’re in the process of rebalancing our inventory to best pair those donations with client needs. Please check back later in the year for more information. Thank you!

How to give: ​Drop off or ship items to any of the sites listed at the bottom of this page.
For drop-offs, please first connect with the program contact listed.
