In-Kind Donations

We rely heavily on in-kind donations to keep our youth programs running. Please visit our Dollar Days Wish List to donate products in bulk or visit our Amazon Wishlist to see a full list of individual items we're in need of at this time. Donations are automatically shipped to SPY’s Access Center (340 Sunset Ave. Venice CA 90291). 

All other donations must be scheduled with SPY prior by contacting [email protected] or (424) 307-9905. We need at least two business days' notice so we have time to properly alert staff and identify storage. Please do not drop items off without first contacting Safe Place for Youth. Unscheduled donations that are left at the gate are often ruined. To arrange a time to drop off donations, contact [email protected].
