Lots of Ways to Donate
There are many ways you can contribute to the work Matrona does. Here are a few options.
Pray
Pray for the families who shop here and the volunteers that work here and the community that surrounds them both. Pray that no need that arises goes unmet. That no need will be felt but unexpressed. That every volunteer can serve in safety. That every child will find just the toy they’re looking for.
Donate Money
Donating money helps us to purchase diapers, formula, wipes and other items our families need. Families will be offered these items at no charge. This is a vital way that you can impact the life of a family in need.
