Your gifts change lives.

On average, it costs $20,000 to support one woman and her child during their stay at the house. Your monetary support allows us to continue providing a safe haven for expecting moms and to assist them in making healthy life choices by offering spiritual, emotional, and material support consistent with our Christian values.

In addition to monetary gifts, we also accept new and gently used items for the families in our home. Scroll down to learn more!

Schedule a Donation Drop-Off

We strongly encourage all donations to be dropped off at the Humble Lily Boutique (12100 W Center Rd Suite 610). Small Individual/family donations can be made at this location anytime without appointment during donation drop-off hours - Monday through Saturday 10am-6pm.

Please contact our office to schedule large donation drop offs. Out of respect for the safety and schedules of our residents, we ask that no unscheduled or “surprise” drop offs be brought to the house.

Please call 402-502-9224 to schedule for Bethlehem House or 402-933-3366 for The Humble Lily Boutique. We thank you for your donation to Bethlehem House!

In-Kind Contributions

In-kind donations help us provide important material items for the families we serve.

We are always appreciative of the families and community groups who host baby showers and donation drives for us. These drives keep our boutique, diaper and cleaning supply fully stocked. Please review the information below before planning a drive on our behalf or dropping off items to us. If you have questions, please let us know!

  • Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers and generous donations, Bethlehem House is able to fully furnish the homes of our alumnae when they transition to independent living. Our furniture needs are constantly changing. Please call or email if you are interested in sharing furniture with us. Photos of items are always encouraged. Storage availability, current inventory and availability of volunteers may affect our ability to accept furniture.

    Please only share items in very good shape and free from rips, tears, stains, etc. We want to give our families the gift of dignity and quality home furnishings. Thank you.
