Wish List
Help us keep the House stocked with the everyday essentials families rely on.
The little things that make a house a home.
The Mark Preece Family House relies on the generosity of our community to help cover the cost of the day-to-day essentials that keep families comfortable during their stay.
From kitchen staples to cleaning supplies, donated items help stretch our resources further, allowing more of every dollar to support keeping our doors open for families who need us. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.
