The holidays are right around the corner! If you are able, please consider donating frozen turkeys and hams. These donations will make a huge impact as they are used throughout the holiday season as essential proteins in our kitchen!

Donations can be dropped off every day of the week 6 AM – 6 PM at our Downtown Campus Kitchen, located at 425 S Tacoma Way, Tacoma, WA 98402

*Donation Center is currently accepting Care Kits

All items donated to the Tacoma Rescue Mission benefit our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Yes, ALL. 

Here’s a little about our process. Once an item is donated… 

  • Tacoma Rescue Mission staff sorts items to ensure every neighbor coming to the Mission for services receives what they need.
  • Once our guests receive their direct needs, the Mission’s thrift store – Mission Thrift – sells items to generate revenue. 
  • Revenue from Mission Thrift directly supports our programs and neighbors in need.*

*Items at the thrift store are priced based on their value in order to maximize revenue to better support our programs and neighbors in need.
