Help us "Do The Most Good"

Below is a list of items The Salvation Army Ruth Lilly Women and Children's Center needs for its residents. Many times, women or women and their children are coming to us with nothing. They are escaping violence and/or homeless and often have very few personal items. Our wish list is a way to help them get back on their feet with necessary items that people need every day.

If you wish to help, you can look through our Amazon Wish List. Items bought from this list will be directly mailed to our shelter downtown Indianapolis. If you wish to buy these items elsewhere, we accept donations at our shelter located at 504 N. Alabama St. Indianapolis, IN 46204.
