In-Kind Donations
How to Help with In-Kind Donations
We accept in-kind donations by appointment only so that we can ensure the proper supply of needed items as well as utilizing our limited storage space. Please email canaan@lakecitypartners.
In-kind donations assist with hygiene, and health of our clients using the shelters and visitors to our GLA Day Center. They also assist with our Community Outreach Program‘s ability to start building trust with unhoused residents, the first step towards moving from tent to front door.
Who Will Benefit
Adults (18+) experiencing homelessness across our service locations. Your donations help individuals stay warm, dry, and better equipped for daily life.
