Wish List
Each year at our Challenge Program residential weeks we are in need of many supplies to carry out our activities and enrich our children's experience. If you are able to donate any of these items please contact the office nearest you to make arrangements. Thank you for helping us further our mission of providing help and hope to children.
This year, for the first time, we have posted some items from our wish list on an Amazon.com Wish List where our donors can select items and have them shipped directly to The Second Mile's State Office.
