In Kind Donations and Donation Drives

In addition to financial support, we welcome and appreciate in-kind donations of NEW goods, services and expertise.

• DONATIONS of NEW items are gratefully accepted at the 8th street entrance at our downtown location: 720 W. Washington St. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m.
  • Donations of services are appreciated (i.e. haircut, spa services, dental/healthcare services), please send voucher/gift certificate or written notification with contact information to philanthropy@wcaboise.org

• LARGE QUANTITY DONATIONS/DRIVES: Please fill out the form below so we can contact you with details:
  • A donation drive is an easy way for people who want to help the WCA and its clients by providing new goods and services we need every day. Whether it’s non-perishable food*, gift cards, linens or immediate needs for our clients, when people make donations of these items, we can spend more of our monetary donations from grants and donations on direct client services.
