Items can be purchased through our Amazon List, which is updated monthly to reflect the needs of those served by the BNRC. Items can be purchased for Temoc’s Closet, menstrual products, supplies for our pregnant and parenting Comets, and more.

If you wish to purchase items from another online retailer and ship them to the BNRC, please use the following delivery address for direct delivery:

If you wish to purchase items and drop them off in person, donations can be dropped off at the BNRC, located in SSB 4.300, Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. If you are planning on donating a large volume of items, please contact our office to ensure that we can accommodate your donation and assist in coordinating drop off/pick up. For in-kind donations dropped off to SSB 4.300, donors are eligible to receive a tax donation form if requested in advance.
