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.
The needs here at Friendship House are ever changing. We recommend you read through our Greatest Needs list and give us a call if you have any questions. There is always the chance we may not be able to take your items, but we can provide you with a list of organizations that might be able to.
As a partner of Northwest Harvest, and to ensure the safety and wellness of our vulnerable population, we cannot accept the following food items due to food safety concerns:
-Home canned or pickled foods
-Foods in dented, rusty cans or dirty containers
-Foods past a "Use By" date
-Foods in open or torn containers
-Unpasteurized milk
-Foods with an "off" odor
"When in doubt, throw it out!"

FoodFriendship 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 will result in food waste. |
HouseholdFriendship House accepts a wide variety of in-kind donations, including clothing, household items and personal care items. These needs fluctuate, so we might not be accepting items that we normally take. This is why it is best to call aheaf for unique items, or if you have a large volume of donations
Items must be clean, organized, like new and in working condition. We can not take opened or partially used toileties and personal care products. Please feel free to use our Amazon Wishlist as inspiration. |
FurniturePlease 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 GiftsWith 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.
