Donate Crucial ItemsDrop Off Your Donations

*Donation Center is currently accepting Care Kits

All items donated to the Tacoma Rescue Mission benefit our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Yes, ALL. 

Here’s a little about our process. Once an item is donated… 

  • Tacoma Rescue Mission staff sorts items to ensure every neighbor coming to the Mission for services receives what they need.
  • Once our guests receive their direct needs, the Mission’s thrift store – Mission Thrift – sells items to generate revenue. 
  • Revenue from Mission Thrift directly supports our programs and neighbors in need.*

*Items at the thrift store are priced based on their value in order to maximize revenue to better support our programs and neighbors in need. 

We are now accepting donations at the following locations:
