Donations:
YWCA Kitsap County can only accept new clothing, linens, and other items due to the risk of COVID-19 and the potentiality of a bed bug outbreak in our emergency shelter. Further, YWCA does not have the staff capacity or equipment to process used items at this time. However, our YWCA partners with Abraham’s House Charity and New Beginnings Closet. If you would like to support YWCA domestic violence survivors with donations of used clothing, linens, or other items, please consider donating directly to Abraham’s House Charity or New Beginnings Closet. If you have an item you think we can use (and it is not new), have questions about donations, or want to coordinate a donation drop-off, please contact us 360-479-0522
