What are in-kind donations?
These are non-monetary items that make an INSTANT IMPACT in the lives of our families, women, and children. Being a non-profit, MICAH House relies heavily on in-kind donations to help keep the House functioning. Just like your house, our clients needs all the essentials from toilet paper and towels, to food and detergent. When clients stay at MICAH House, they do not pay for anything: food, clothing, shelter, laundry services, and much more.
