Ways To Give

Help make our houses more like homes! Your donation will help provide a warm, comfortable and enjoyable home environment to teens seeking recovery. For these kids, who have been through so much ugliness in their lives, a pleasant, inviting place to live can mean the world.

If you would like to make a donation, please email us or call 408-281-0708.

PLEASE NOTE: Advent does not have storage facilities to house in-kind donations. It is very helpful if donors email a photo of large donations such as sofas and other furniture so that we can see if the items are needed (and will fit) in our homes.
