Many of Family Eldercare's programs work with low-income seniors and older adults who are unable to afford simple goods that most of us take for granted. The list of items are goods that Care Managers have seen a continuous need for over the years.  If you would like to donate an item not on the list please call (512) 450-0844 to see if there is a need for the it; Family Eldercare does not accept pre-owned medical equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, etc.)  We request that any item with an asterisk (*) next to it be new.
