Donations
Contributions Make a Real Difference
Washoe County Housing and Homeless Services is grateful for the community’s generosity in supporting the Nevada Cares Campus and Our Place Shelter. Donations help provide safe, stable, and supportive environments for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
This page highlights ways to contribute resources and items that directly support residents, ensuring shelters remain stocked with essentials and programs continue to thrive.
Supporting Those Experiencing Homelessness
Amazon Wish List: The Amazon Wishlist allows donors to provide the most urgent and up-to-date needs for residents at both the Nevada Cares Campus and Our Place Shelter. Items are regularly updated to reflect shifting needs. When purchasing an item, please make sure to include your name, contact information, and group name (if donating as part of an organized drive).
Pet Supplies: Through our partnership with Washoe County Regional Animal Services (WCRAS), we accept donations of pet supplies, including food and care items, for residents’ pets. Supporting pets ensures families and individuals can maintain the human-animal bond while in shelter.
