Cash & Gift Card Donations
$5 Gift Cards: The need for small gift cards (e.g., grocery stores or fast-food) is greater than ever. With recent cuts to SNAP benefits, these cards provide a lifeline, offering individuals a chance to buy a hot meal or essential provisions. We also use them as prizes for activities like Bingo, which helps build community.
Cash Donations: Monetary donations allow us the flexibility to purchase the items most needed at any given time, cover operational costs, and respond immediately to crises.You can make a cash donation of any amount here.
Thank you for helping City with Dwellings provide warmth, essential items, and a sense of belonging to our neighbors experiencing homelessness this winter. Your generosity makes a tangible difference in their lives.
