Ways to Give

We can always use helping hands, goods and donations.

We rely on generous financial support and donations from our community to help us end homelessness and poverty for families. The Frances Thaxton Ash Endowment covers most of our fundraising costs, so your donation directly supports our family programming. Saranam is a 501(c)3 non-profit so your contribution is tax deductible.

Donation of Household Goods and Furniture

Saranam provides a fully furnished apartment for each new family entering our program. Families successfully exiting the program may take everything with them to furnish their new home, so every year we are in need of home items that are lightly used and in like-new condition.

Household Goods
Donations of smaller household goods can be dropped off at our Administrative offices located at 1028 Eubank Blvd. NE, Suite F. Monday-Thursday from 11:30am-3:00pm.

The offices are closed to household donations Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Furniture Donations
We have storage spaces around Albuquerque and accept furniture by drop-off with a scheduled appointment.

In-kind goods and services

We accept in-kind goods and services. In-kind goods are tangible items, including computers, vehicles in good condition, and food purchased directly by the giver for Saranam. This type of donation is made instead of a direct cash gift. If you donate a vehicle, providing a receipt or valuation of the vehicle helps Saranam and allows you to receive as charitable contribution receipt for your donation.

In-kind services involve giving your time free of charge for services that you would normally charge a professional fee or wage. These services include legal work, trades work, accounting, and teaching. In such cases, Saranam vouchers official invoices as donations.

Contact Director of Development Dianne Campbell to discuss in-kind options.
