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.

As of November 1, 2010, all clothing donations made to Raphael House should be taken to Community Thrift Store. Both Raphael House and our families will continue to benefit from generous donations made by you, our community members. This partnership assists us with our restricted storage and allows Raphael House families a wider selection of necessary items, increased independence to shop at their leisure and additional privacy.

We will continue to accept housewares, linens, brand-new toys, books and school supplies.  Please view below our list of accepted items.  These contributions can be made at Raphael House 9:00am - 6:00pm, Monday through Saturday.

For questions regarding our donations and our partnership with Community Thrift Store please contact Anna Hurtado at 415-474-4621 ext. 606 or ahurtado@raphaelhouse.org.

We thank you for your support!
