Donate Items to C4WS
We regularly update our Amazon wishlist to reflect the current needs of our guests and former guests and are able to distribute these regularly to those who need them most.
We are very grateful to anyone wishing to donate goods for use by our shelter guests.
Our needs at any given time are subject to change, but the following list details the items we are generally able to make use of, and those we cannot. If you are interested in donating goods to the project, please email us to find out what we are currently looking for at: admin@c4wshomelessproject.org

Second-hand underwear or clothing in poor condition.
