Most-Needed Items for April 2026

Here are the things we need most at Sunshine House, the Mobile Overdose Prevention Site (MOPS) and Kelly’s Corner transitional residence for April 2026.

One thing we can really use are BRAND-NAME MOVING BOXES. This means heavy-duty boxes that are designed and sold expressly for the purpose of moving house, by companies like U-Haul, RONA and Home Depot. Anyone who has used proper moving boxes knows what a difference they make! 

We are also in need of good working condition used personal electronics like CELL PHONES and TABLETS. These items are so important for people getting back on their feet! We even offer tax receipts for many items! Read more about it here: https://sunhou.link/DYT
