How You Can Help

Our donors and volunteers make an enormous contribution to the quality and scope of our services. There are many ways to get involved and to help support our mission.

Donations

You can make a tax-deductible donation by personal check or charge card. Send your contribution to: Hope's Door, PO Box 203, Pleasantville, NY 10570 and you'll receive our newsletter and notices of agency programs and events.
Your company, school or organization can plan a fundraiser or a donation drive of goods such as toiletries, baby products, office and program supplies, or holiday gifts.
A gift of stock will reduce your income taxes and provide you with other tax advantages.
You can leave a legacy of hope for those wounded by domestic violence. A bequest can be a specific dollar amount or a fixed percentage of your estate.
Donations can be made in remembrance of a loved one, in honor of a survivor, as a holiday or birthday gift, or in tribute to someone who supports our mission. All gifts are acknowledged to the recipient or their family with a special letter.

For more information about contributions or to offer your support, please call our office at (914) 747-0828 or email us.
