In-Kind Gifts at DESC
In an effort to reduce our program costs and reduce waste, we accept many types of in-kind goods that we can give our clients. Because we have clients that are homeless and some that are housed, there are a wide variety of items we can take.
Items We Accept
- Adult clothing
- Hygiene items
- Small appliances and household items, except furniture
- Non-expired, shelf-ready food that does not need to be refrigerated
- When in doubt, email donations@desc.org to see if what you have is something we can accept!
Items We Always Need
- Men’s pants
- Men’s coats
- Women’s plus-sized clothing
- Menstrual hygiene products
- Coffee (beans or ground)
- Sleeping bags
- New adult-sized socks
Small donations can be dropped off at our main administrative offices at 515 Third Avenue Seattle, WA 98104. For larger donations, please email donations@desc.org to arrange a time to drop off the gifts at our Donation Processing Center in Rainier Valley.
