WAYS TO GIVE

Your Donations Make a Difference!

DONATE YOUR HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

For your convenience, we have provided a list of household donations that we are able to accept. Your donations may be sold at our Thrift Store where all proceeds will go towards supporting City Mission programs. Other items might be given to our residents as they move from our shelters into their own apartments. We're grateful for your generosity!

Unfortunately, we are unable to pick-up donations at this time.
