Our Wishlist

Everything we do comes out of our own pockets – this includes postage, PO Box rental, office supplies, printing, web-hosting fees, licensing for our database, costs associated with hosting volunteer sessions, prison phone and email correspondence, etc. All gifts are tax deductible.

A painless way to help is to shop through Amazon Smiles! To do so, simply go to smile.amazon.com, select Adopt an Inmate as your charitable organization (enter our name in the search box and we’ll pop right up), and order normally. (Once you have selected your charity, which will will appear just below the search box, be sure to always shop from the smile.amazon.com site). Amazon will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to Adopt an Inmate. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages.
