In-Kind Giving
In-kind donations help Larkin Street provide important necessities to the young people we serve. Larkin Street is grateful to the many donors who contribute donated clothing, household goods, and other wish list items to help San Francisco’s most vulnerable youth.
Please respect our in-kind donation guidelines and understand that items are subject to refusal. Donated items that we must dispose of are a cost to our agency. Please contact our Volunteer Program Manager if you have any questions about the acceptability of an item you wish to donate or if you are interested in organizing a drive. All items must be clean and in working condition.
