How You Can Help by Donating Goods

 

In-kind donations are an important part of the services we provide to our families. Your donated items help us to serve the families of the Bay Area. In-kind contributions can be made at Raphael House 9:00am-6:00pm Monday - Saturday. As space is limited, we are unable to accept certain items, such as televisions, computers, large furniture, and other electronics. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at (415) 474-4621. When you drop off your donations, we encourage you to complete an in-kind donation form so we can send you a thank you letter.
