Ways to Give

St. Mary’s empowers those experiencing homelessness and poverty to rebuild their lives that have been disrupted and shattered, often leaving them with no one to trust, no source of income and no place to live. These individuals and families rely on St. Mary’s to be there every day to help restore dignity with a safe place to sleep, a hot shower, a change of clothes, a nutritious meal and caring, personalized support.

Financial Contributions

Financial Contributions

Monetary gifts enable us to fulfill our mission. Every dollar makes a difference, and recurring gifts enable us to maintain our meal program, provide showers, clothing and items to help individuals and families get through their day.

Larger gifts support our programs that assist with mental and physical health care, case management, and housing navigation, which empower individuals to make sustainable life changes.

Planned Gifts enable St. Mary’s Community Services to perform long-term financial planning by giving us confidence that we will have the financial resources we need to continue providing services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and poverty for years to come. Planned gifts enable donors to have financial flexibility as well as receive a tax benefit.

Donations of Essential Items

Donations of Essential Items

Donations of new and gently used clothing, as well as fresh produce and industrial-size canned goods, are all appreciated. Consider hosting a community drive or donating items from your home. Perhaps a birthday or anniversary party could have a meaningful twist on gifts this year. In lieu of gifts for the honoree, everyone brings a pair of gently used men’s jeans or a package of diapers to be donated to St. Mary’s. It will be a memorable, meaningful and impactful celebration event.
