Seattle House Wish Lists

Help us provide a comfortable and healthy home for our guests by donating essential items.

There are two ways you can help:

  1. Go to our Amazon Seattle House Wish List or Food Drive Wish List to easily purchase items and have them sent to the House. Our lists are updated regularly and reflect of-the-moment needs for families.
  2. Shop for items from our Always Needed Items list (found below) and drop them off at the House. We accept donated items daily between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. at House A (5130 40th Avenue NE, Seattle).

If you are dropping off a large donation, please schedule your delivery by calling (206) 838-0609. All donations must be new and in original packaging.
