Donate and Volunteer

We always need donations and drivers willing to volunteer as Ship Captains for our free rides program. The most convenient way to donate is to come to one of our prescheduled Ports of Call. If you can't, we're happy to come to you.

Items Needed

Food

You can feed someone breakfast, lunch, and dinner for almost a week with a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly, and a pound of couscous. Peanut butter, nuts, and chia seeds are gluten-free, shelf-stable sources of protein, while couscous is low-fat, low-sugar, and cooks in minutes without electricity. These are easily prepared, versatile, and vegan. Sweeteners and seasoning packets are small luxuries that help keep meals from becoming too repetitive in flavor. These are our favorite food items to receive because it lets us provide meals for a week, rather than just the one night that we encounter the person.

Canned goods with the pop tops are preferred but not required.

Toiletries

Supplies

We will resume accepting donations and volunteer applications in October. Contact us then to request a pickup or inquire about volunteering as a Ship Captain.
