Thank you for thinking of us!  Your financial and item donations make it possible to meet the immediate needs of those living without shelter in Clackamas county. Below is a list of ways to donate:

FINANCIAL – We are a 501 (c ) 3 non profit.  We rely on the financial support of our donors to cover our operating expenses.  The work we do is vital to the entire community, housed and unhoused.  With your support, we are able to provide a safe and peaceful place for people to rest.  This gives us the ability to build relationship and trust.  Once a guest knows that we genuinely care about them, a host of possibilities and opportunities begin to unfold.

CLOTHING-Wearing clean clothing lifts a person’s spirit by removing the shame that comes with wearing dirty clothing.  Your clothing donation has a great impact on our guests that come to receive services.  Clothing donations that are gently used, laundered or new are gladly received at donation station inside the building. Our most needed clothing items are: men’s and women’s underwear sizes Sm and Med. men’s and women’s jeans and shoes. Please do not leave donations outside on the property or in doorways after hours.

GENERAL ITEMS-Tarps, sleeping bags and adult sized backpacks are essential.

HYGIENE ITEMS – Travel sized soaps, shampoos, conditioner and antiperspirants are perfect size to carry in a back pack or use for our shower program.

FOOD- We have a guest pantry that supplies individual food items for our guest to eat when TFH is not operating.  The types of food donations that serve our guest best are food items that they can eat with little to no preparation.  These items would be: canned meat, fruits or vegetables, canned hearty soups, Cup O Noodles and Top Ramen.

KITCHEN-We rely on donations of paper bowls, heavy duty paper plates or 9×9 take out containers to serve our provided meals. Soup bowls, plastic ware, 16oz paper coffee cups, 16oz cold beverage cups, and napkins are also necessary to provide the very best for our guests.

BREAKFAST-Coffee, coffee creamer, stir sticks, sugar, hot chocolate and cereal are other items we need on a regular basis. These items are essential for opening our doors in the morning to our guests that have endured a difficult night.  Coming inside to a cup of coffee and breakfast offered with the warmth and smiles of our volunteers is a start to a better day.
