Wish List

Three key ways in which you can give to help Ruth Harbor include monetary donations, volunteering, or donating gifts. Here is our wish list which contains many of the things we currently need. Many of these items are a direct blessing to our residents. For drop-offs, we kindly request that you call our office ahead of time at 515-279-4661 or email Lexi at lexi@ruthharbor.org to inquire. This will help us ensure that we can properly receive and manage your generous contributions.
