I Want to Donate

Gently used items are always welcome, but some items are much more useful than others.

Right now, we need men’s clothing (shirts, pants, shoes, jackets, etc.) and new/ unused men’s personal items (e.g., underwear, socks).

Call the Shelter (425-303-9774, then press 6) or our Administrative Office (425-252-6672) to find out what we need most right now, and schedule a drop-off donation.

The Shelter accepts donations Mon – Thur.

Our frequently updated Amazon Wishlist includes urgently needed items – at affordable prices – based on current shelter needs.

I Want to Volunteer

From everyday maintenance and upkeep, to pruning and weeding in the Shelter’s community garden, to helping out with the Learning Hour children’s program… there are so many ways to share your skills, expertise, or time with us!
