Get Involved
Compassionate donations of food and clothing often end up discarded when they are not well matched with recipients. City workers spend many hours cleaning wasted donations up from public spaces. By giving responsibly, you can ensure that your donation will be directed to the places they're most needed.

Give financially
Monetary donations given directly to the recipient may not be used to purchase food or other needed items, and may not help them create real change in their life.
Donate to an organization that can provide support and items that those experiencing homelessness need most.
- City of Everett's Safe Streets Fund
- The fund provides immediate assistance to chronically homeless individuals who are transitioning into treatment, housing or other services.
- Donate to organizations providing services to those on the street
