Keep our shelves stocked with our annual supply drives.

In addition to providing financial support, another way to get involved in LTHC’s mission is to keep our shelves stocked with the “stuff” that we most often use.

With two primary need categories—shelter and housing—our annual supply drives help us keep our shelves stocked for our community members that rely on us.

Stock the shelves.

We have divided these on-going needs into two primary categories:

Shelter Needs

These are the items we need for people currently experiencing homelessness who use the Engagement Center.

Housing Needs

These are the items most commonly asked for by people ending their homelessness and moving into housing.

To deliver items from these lists, you can have them shipped directly to LTHC Homeless Services, 815 North 12th Street, Lafayette, IN 47904. That is the same address for in-person deliveries but we ask you to come to Door #4 on 13th Street and ring the doorbell, Monday through Friday from 9am - 4pm.

At LTHC, there are three special drives each year. These are concentrated time frames that we focus on some specific items.

Christmas in July

This drive is designed to support those households getting out of homelessness. We are interested in collecting out top 10 items for move-ins. These include:

Bath sets – towels, bath mat, shower curtain with rings
Kitchen sets - towels and hot pads
Dish and cup sets – silverware
Pots & Pan sets
Sink sets – dish soap and dish racks
Kitchen trash cans and bags
Paper goods – toilet paper, paper towel, paper plates
Laundry sets – laundry basket, detergent, dryer sheets
Bedding sets – twin sized sheet sets and/or comforter sets
Small appliances – coffee makers, toasters, and alarm clocks

During this month, we seek new (and very gently used) versions of these items. This is a great opportunity for your church, family, organization or business to do a drive. Reach out to donate@lthc.net (link) to get help putting this together at your location.

This event typically runs the entire month of July.

Thanksgiving & Christmas

During the holiday, LTHC has greater needs for our guests and tenants. We have opportunities for gift giving, drives, food donations – you name it, we can probably use your help with it. We start planning in September so contact info@lthc.net to get on that list to help.
