Get Involved

Sojourner has positively impacted the lives of thousands of victims of violence and abuse since 1979. We provide program participants, adults and children, with information and resources needed to reclaim their safety and stability. All Sojourner services are provided free of charge. Community support is an essential component to all that is achieved, by both the victim and our organization. The combined generosity of businesses, faith communities, private foundations, groups, and individuals helps us provide needed services. Please consider supporting Sojourner in whatever way you can, in any way you can - THANK YOU!

In-Kind Donations

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sojourner is limiting in-person donations to essential items. Current needs can be found on our Wishlist which is updated regularly. We also have an Amazon registry and Target registry for easy, no drop-off necessary donations. Thank you for donating!

​

Sojourner is often in need of new or gently used clothing, personal care products, paper products, cleaning supplies and children's items. We utilize these donations directly in the shelter, to ease clients' transition out of shelter and to support the stability of community clients.

​

Donation drives and group projects are a wonderful way to get involved, have fun and give back. Examples include: welcome bag assembly, paper product drives, cleaning supply drives, bedding or pajama drives and baby supply drives. Our Donation Drive Toolkit will make it easy and simple for you to host a drive.

If you would like to make an in-kind donation or if you belong to an organization that would like to do a group project or sponsor a drive on behalf of Sojourner, or have any other questions about in-kind donations, please call  952-351-4067 or email becca@sojournerproject.org.

*Please note: Due to storage limitations, Sojourner pre-approves all in-kind donations and does not generally accept used household furniture, baby furniture, kitchen items or household electronics. We also do not accept travel size items.
