In-Kind Donation Needs
You can make a difference in the lives of those Avivo serves by donating urgent donation needs items or kits, which are listed below. Items can range from welcome baskets to move-in kits to basic hygiene items, and all make a tremendous difference in someone’s life. Please ensure any donations are new, and not used – we are no longer accepting used items. If you’re interested in making a difference, please look carefully over the following options to select a donation or kit that matches your interests. You can also download a printable list of Participant Necessity Kits.
Featured Donation Drive of the Month: Items to Support Our New Avivo Village
We’re close to opening our second Avivo Village, Avivo Village Central Minnesota! As we prepare for the grand opening of this facility, we want to ensure we can radically welcome new shelter guests with important, essential items.
You can help by purchasing and shipping items from our Amazon Wish List or Target Wish List (or from your own preferred retailer) to our 1900 Chicago Avenue location, or by dropping off items.
Dropoff of items/kits should take place in Minneapolis at the front desk of our 1900 Chicago Avenue location, Monday – Thursday 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.; Friday 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
To drop off kits you’ve assembled or In-Kind Item of the Month, please plan to drop off at 1900 Chicago Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404 during business hours, Monday-Friday. For more information or to schedule a donation drop-off, contact giving@avivomn.org. Another option for donating baskets and kits is to ship items directly to Avivo via our Target Charity registry.
