In-kind donations are donations of new or gently used goods and services. These types of donations are extremely valuable to Women In Distress of Broward County, Inc. and critical to the sustainability of the agency. This type of charitable donation can be made by individuals or organizations. If you would like to organize a donation drive, please Click Here.
In-kind contributions allow Women In Distress to continue to provide services to our participants as they build a new life for themselves and their families. Last year alone, Women In Distress received more than $500,000 through in-kind donations.
