donation drives & in-kind donations
providing critical resources
gathering community essentials
Donation drives are critical to A New Leaf’s programs. They provide the most essential needs for the children, individuals, and families who are most in need in our community.
We cannot accept gently used or worn items. We work with local community organizations that do accept gently used goods, and we are happy to refer you to them. Just call us at (480) 464-4648.
