Valentine House Holiday Store

On Thursday, December 10, 2020 Joan Valentine House will hold their annual Valentine Holiday store for our residents. Valentine House, founded in 1993, is located at 605 Bay Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach. We are a facility for 48 low-income adults with mental health issues. We like to say we give our residents “a place to call home.” Without our facility many of our residents would be homeless.

It is our tradition to hold a holiday store for our residents to purchase gifts for their family and friends. Throughout the year they earn “Valentine Bucks” for performing certain tasks for themselves and the community, they use these bucks to purchase the gifts.

We solicit the gifts from the community. We ask you to purchase nothing. Check your drawers, closets and hiding spots for gifts you were given and will never use, things you bought and have never used, and gifts you bought but will never give. It is a win-win, you get more space and we get the items we need! Please, all items must be new. They do not have to be in their box, but must be new.

The ideal donations are wallets, pocketbooks, jewelry, robes, pj’s, slippers, sweaters, sweatshirts, scarves, hats, gloves, household items, small appliances, belts, perfume, cologne, body wash, and lotions. We always seem to be short on men’s items. We have so many Christmas themed items left from last year we ask that they not be included in your donation.

Contact-free drop-off can be accomplished by leaving your donations on our front porch. Just ring the bell, someone will get them! Donations can be accepted through December 9th.

If you have any questions please contact Diana at 732-899-2277.
