Donate
Our shelter thrives thanks to your generous donations. We gratefully accept paper products, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, food, and monetary gifts—each one making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
Please call first before bringing donations of clothing or bedding to see what is needed as our storage space is very limited.
Check our Facebook page (Mattoon Haven) for updated Wish Lists.
Thank you for helping us create a brighter future!
Monetary Donations
The Haven is only partially supported through state funding. We rely on the generous contributions of our community to truly make a difference in the lives of those in need. Monetary donations help The Haven get needed supplies, pay staff, and maintain our facility. Contributions can be made by check to “The Haven” or if you would like to give online or by credit/debit card.
General Needs
Non-Perishable food items are always welcome. We are always in need of several household items such as toilet paper, cleaning supplies, paper towels, and personal hygiene supplies for both men and women. Items can be dropped off at your convenience at 1812 Western Avenue.
