Friendship House provides meals, showers, clothing and personal care items to anyone in need in our community. By meeting the basic needs of those affected by homelessness and poverty, we offer kindness, dignity and respect.

We are grateful for the many donors in our community who make it possible for us to provide these services. All donations are tax-deductible and greatly benefit your neighbors in need.

We accept donations of all kinds, but please be sure to check out our greatest needs.

-Home canned or pickled foods
-Foods in dented, rusty cans or dirty containers
-Foods past a "Use By" date, unless frozen
-Foods in open or torn containers
-unpasteurized milk
-foods with an "off" odor

"When in doubt, throw it out!"

Food

Friendship House accepts food donations of all kinds, including leftovers from group events. Please ensure that food has been cooled and stored properly. There is no need to call ahead to see if we will accept items. Frozen or refrigerated items cannot be accepted after 6:00pm. 
Food donations can be dropped off at the Friendship House Café, located at 108 Snoqualmie Street in Mount Vernon.
Monday-Friday 7am to noon 
and also 3:30-6pm. 
Deliveries outside of these time frames may not be stored properly and can result in food waste.

Household

Friendship House accepts a wide variety of in-kind donations, including clothing, household items and personal care items. We gladly accept anything that is clean and usable, but cannot accept open or partially used personal care items like soap and shampoo.
​
Donations may be dropped off during daylight hours 7 days a week at the appropriate shelter:
Women's - 922 S. 3rd St
Men's - 1008 S. 3rd
​If you have a mix of men's and women's things you can drop off at either shelter

Furniture

Please call the main office at 360.336.6138 regarding large items like furniture or appliances. We have limited storage space available, and prefer to connect donors with residents who are moving into their own housing and need furniture.

Other In-Kind Gifts

With Capital repairs underway across several facilities, we encourage community support by way of materials donations and discounts to help us achieve a greater level of service without a great expense.  Thank you, please reach Jen directly, to learn more about current construction material needs.
