Family & Children Services appreciates being thought of as a beneficiary of in-kind gifts of services and goods. We accept items that are in good condition and fit our current agency and client needs. Our storage space is very limited.
In our pursuit of being excellent stewards of donations, we also strive to refer donors to other agencies when we know others would be best able to put the donated items to use quickly for the benefit of individuals in need in our community.
Donations to Family & Children Services are tax-deductible per IRS guidelines. To contact us about a potential donation, please call the Development Department at 650-326-6576, or complete our online contact form.
