DONATION DRIVE FOR HARBOR HOUSE
stuff the box
Nov 2 – Nov 13
“The donations that we get mean everything to us because it helps us with everything that we are doing for the clients here.
A lot of people come in and don’t have anything. They literally have what they were wearing when they walked through our door.”
– Lonja, Child & Family Counselor
We need your help to Stuff the Box with donations for Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter at Catholic Charities.
What is Stuff the Box?
The Stuff the Box campaign helps gather personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, clothing basics, household items and more to help the children and women who come to Harbor House with literally nothing. In the past year, Harbor House provided 11,600 bed nights for 260 people who needed safe shelter to escape domestic violence.

Harbor House also provides:
- A 24/7 crisis hotline at (316) 263-6000
- Safety planning
- Healthy relationship education
- Referrals to community resources
- Outreach for court services
