We Thank you for Your Support!

There are many ways to support the movement to end domestic and sexual violence both with your time and your financial resources. RAVE's services are dependent upon the help and support of community members, area businesses and organizations. Monetary donations are used to support maintenance of facilities, emergency client needs, awareness activities and multiple needs throughout the two county service area. 

Cash Donations

Cash donations go the farthest for RAVE.  When you give cash to our program we are able to use that money to fill in the cracks that grants don't cover!  We always keep donor intentions  in mind and make sure each dollar donated is used to support our work to make Ionia and Montcalm counties violence free.

Non - Monetary Donations

RAVE is thankful for all donations. Donations are essential to the work we do in providing a safe place for women and children to stay. Although all donations are important, we have limited space in which to store everything. Therefore, please refer here, to our Facebook Page or contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Claire, for a list of current donation needs.

 At this time we are accepting the following donations:      
  • New socks and underwear for women and children
  • New Spring/Summer clothes for infants, children and women****
  • Non-perishable and perishable food items 
  • New towels, hand towels and wash cloths
  • Paper products (paper towel, toilet paper, etc.)
  • New or gently used kids toys
  • New/Matching Kitchen Utensils

If you have something to donate that is not on this list you can bring them to the following locations listed as we refer our clients to these resources: Christian Service Center, Arms of Love, Positive Solutions/Informed Choices (formally Pregnancy Services), GLC Hope Ministries, Salvation Army, Enrich and Goodwill. 

     If you have an item that you think we could use but it is not on the list please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 616-225-1995 or fill out the form below to see if it is something we could use.
