Good news! One of our residents at ALIVE! House is moving into her own home.

She is in the need of furniture and housewares, so please let us know if you would like to contribute an item to help her get settled into the new place.

Visit the link below to view the items still needed. This website compiles our list of gift requests, but does not sell the gifts. If you would like to 'claim' a gift, be sure to click on the 'Give this gift' button so the gift will be claimed in your name, and we can avoid duplication.

Packages can be sent to ALIVE! headquarters as 2723 King St, Alexandria, VA 22302. For larger items such as furniture, contact ALIVE! to coordinate pick-up/drop-off.
