In-Kind Donations
Our clothing closet is one of the most vital parts of this ministry, and it runs almost entirely on what people bring us. New or used, both are welcome.
What we need most
- Men's jeans and casual pants, all sizes (waist 32–40 especially)
- Sweats, hoodies, sweatshirts, and jackets in XL and up
- Men's shoes in every size, especially under size 11
- New socks and underwear
- Sleeping bags and blankets
Most of our folks layer up to stay warm at night, so larger tops and jackets go fastest. Pants are the hardest thing for us to keep in stock.
Where to bring it
- At a meal service
- 1300 Middlefield Rd, Redwood City, between 6:00 and 6:30 PM any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.
- At the office
- Donation barrel at 901 Madison Ave, Redwood City.
- Something larger?
- Email info@streetlifeministries.org and we'll make arrangements.
However works best for you

Employer match
Many Bay Area employers will match your gift dollar for dollar, and some pay a grant for the hours you volunteer. Ask your HR team about Matching Gift and Volunteer Grant programs. It can double what you give at no extra cost to you.
