Wish List

In-kind (non-monetary) donations help us provide families with the things they need to transition through times of crisis.  Please consider donating new or lightly-used items today!

Please note: It is difficult for us to pick up donations because doing so takes valuable staff time away from our clients.  We greatly appreciate your assistance in coordinating a drop-off to our main offices at 995 Market Street, at 6th Street.  Please contact us at (415) 644-0504 ext. 306, or kmansfield@compass-sf.org.
