Wish Lists for Each Program

Lists are updated regularly and are very complete. Consequently, we may not accept items that are omitted from the list. For more information about your in-kind donation, please call Dwayne Patterson at 907-444-4838 or email at dpatterson@cssalaska.org.

If we receive items that are not on these wish lists, they will be donated to Bishop’s Attic or to Goodwill. We must dispose of all unneeded/unusable items, taking funding from our services and programs.
