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.

Welcome Supplies
We provide all of our incoming families with an apartment fully-stocked with all of the household supplies that they need to get started on their new journey. We are looking for donations of these MUST HAVE items for families joining us at our ADC Family Campus. Please click below for full list of items needed and to sign up to provide a set(s).
Family and ADC Family Campus Needs
Donations from our community ensure that families have the supplies they need for school, work and beyond. See our wish list for our current needs.
*Please note that delivery auto-populates to a secure address.
Donation of Household Goods
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 good condition.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have all the large furniture items that we need to furnish homes at our ADC Family Campus. Due to storage space limitations, we are NOT currently accepting additional donations of furniture. Please check back soon for updates!
Household items we accept:
- *Furniture – Small dining room tables and chairs, couches (no sleeper sofas), desks, coffee tables, dressers, nightstands, and end tables
- *Bed frames (Queen, full and twin)
- *Rugs- size 8x10 or smaller, in good condition

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.
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.
