Donation Drives

Donation Drives

Every item donated ensures more resources for our kids.

From our founding day in 1950, Boys & Girls Haven has relied on the generosity of our community to provide for the physical needs of the children and young adults in our care. Every item donated ensures we are able to put more money directly toward the healing, education, and enrichment our kids need to grow and thrive.

See below for some of our most needed items. Please feel free to contact us at development@boyshaven.org with any questions about ongoing or seasonal drives.

As a note, we can only accept NEW items for our young people. We cannot accept used clothing, sheets, blankets, or household goods at this time.

Drop-Off Instructions:

To help us deliver your donations to our kids as quickly and efficiently as possible, we would be grateful if you could fold items, transport them in boxes (not bags), and label boxes by item.
Donations can be dropped off at the administration building at Boys & Girls Haven (2301 Goldsmith Lane, Louisville, KY 40218) during business hours…Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM. If you’d like to drop-off donations in East Louisville, please deliver them to Nadine Brewer. **Please contact Nadine to arrange a drop-off. She can be reached at 502-262-6134.
