Product Wish List

 

Below is a list of our most urgent needs. A donation of product to AmeriCares HomeFront is a great way to reduce costs associated with elimination of product returns, outdated packaging and soon-to-expire supplies, while getting a tax advantage and supporting a good cause. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!

Shipping to our Main Warehouse in Stamford, CT

HomeFront maintains a warehouse in southwestern Connecticut year round. HomeFront asks that donors pay the transportation cost to our warehouse. Our Operations department, headed by Kris deFriesse, will see that your donation of product or supplies gets to where it is needed most. The shipping cost to us is tax deductible as a contributory service. AmeriCares is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization.(Please consult your tax advisor for specific information.)

Please note that all shipments to our warehouse are by appointment only. To schedule, and for address and directions, contact Fletcher Watton, Resource Manager at fwatton@americares.org or phone 203-658-9585 with your proposed delivery date and time. Be sure to include your work and cell phones and indicate the best time to reach you and which number is preferred. Fletcher will get back to you, usually within four business days. For more details or if you have a specific question, please contact Fletcher at the email or phone number listed above.

Along with the following targets for individual items, HomeFront is also accepting pledges for job-specific, customized items.

Specs will then be forwarded to donors at time of job planning.
