Needed Items

Throughout the year, many organizations and individuals ask the needs of the children and adults served by the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley. We attempt to take inventory once a month and determine the needs of those we serve on a monthly basis. The following list is our monthly determination. However, if you have donations to bring to the Women’s Resource Center that are not on this list, we still welcome your donation. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions at (540) 639-9592.
