The Marsh Children's Home accepts donations of almost any kind.
Donations that are the most useful are staples such as milk (long shelf-life); dried goods (canned food items such as rice, beans, cooking oil, sugar and honey); clothing; shoes and tennis shoes; and schools supplies (notebooks, pencils, pens, and backpacks).
Basically, we will take just about anything you are willing to donate. If we cannot use a particular item, we store those items and periodically have "garage sales" to raise money for the children. These items are sold for about 10 cents on the dollar value and greatly benefit the surrounding communities.
However, financial donations are always greatly appreciated.
We use your cash donations and sponsorship dollars to provide the items that the children need on a daily basis; diesel for our school bus; gasoline for our truck, propane for cooking; and to pay our utility bills - electricity and water - to maintain the daily operations of the Marsh Children's Home. |

Laptops, Desktop Computers and / or Tablet Computers (Apple, if possible): As of June 2016, we currently care for over 80+ children. We installed a "state of the art" computer room / theatre way back in the year 2006. A very generous donor brought us 15 desktop computers (Windows OS). Sadly, half of the computers no longer work. The computers that do function are woefully out of date.
