How to Support Dragonfly: Urgent Needs

From toiletries to gift cards, here’s what our survivors need right now.

Supporting survivors of human trafficking doesn’t always look like writing a check. Sometimes it looks like a pack of socks. A soft throw blanket. A bottle of shampoo waiting on a shelf when someone walks through our door for the first time. At Dragonfly, we believe that every survivor deserves to feel seen, cared for, and safe — and the community around us makes that possible every single day. Whether you’re an individual looking to give what you can, a business wanting to make an impact, or a group ready to organize a drive, there’s a place for you here.

Below is our current needs list. Every item on it goes directly to the individuals we serve.

Urgent, Immediate Needs

These are the items we need most right now — the everyday essentials that go fast when you’re serving people around the clock.

  • Toilet paper
  • Hand soap
  • Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant)
  • Ethnic hair products
  • Soft throw blankets
  • Undergarments (bras and underwear, all sizes)
  • Cleaning supplies and products
  • Laundry detergent and softener

Want to organize a drive? Contact kaylee@thedragonflyhome.org for more information!

Gift Cards

Gift cards give our team the flexibility to get survivors exactly what they need — groceries, clothing, uniforms, crisis items, or a few things from the snack aisle that make a hard week feel a little more human.

  • Amazon
  • Walmart
  • Target
  • Gas cards (always appreciated)

Meals

A warm meal is one of the simplest, most meaningful ways to show someone they matter. We welcome both on-the-go options and sit-down meals from local restaurants.

On the Go:

  • McDonald’s
  • Subway
  • Sonic
  • Chick-fil-A

Sit-Down Meals: Local restaurants are always welcome. Reach out if you’d like to sponsor a meal.

Other Items

  • Colorful journals
  • New or gently used luggage
  • School supplies
  • Craft supplies

Please note: Many of our clients have allergies. For their health and comfort, please ensure all donated items are new and unused. We appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Generosity like yours is what makes the work possible. Every item donated, every meal provided, every gift card handed over — it all adds up to something larger than any one of us: a community that refuses to look away, and a place where survivors know they are not alone.

If you have questions about donating items or want to coordinate a larger drive, email our Development Manager at kaylee@thedragonflyhome.org. And if you’re ready to give financially, you can do that too — make a donation here.

Thank you for standing with us.
