Amazon Wishlist

The SAWC has developed a list with Amazon Wishlist. Purchased items will directly benefit those we serve.

Items will be delivered directly to our facility. 

Our Partners

These places let our clients shop for what they need at no cost. 

If we can't accept it, they can!

Rotating Shelter

Are you part of a faith-based organization? One of our biggest resources in the harsh Michigan winters is our Rotating Shelter! Rotating Shelter is a great way to open your faith-based home to those experiencing homelessness in Washtenaw County. 

Move-Out Baskets

Help our neighbors get a fresh start with the things they need in a new apartment! Keep in mind that most clients only have some clothing and few personal belongings. See what is included in a move-out basket here. To coordinate a move-out basket making event, please contact Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Samantha Adams at

734-662-2829 ext. 226 or at adamss@washtenaw.org.

Pledge Donations

Our multi-year gift program is designed to safeguard our current programs and create a financial bridge to our future.

Events

One of the best ways to get involved with the SAWC is to attend events like Almost Home or Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week. If your corporation or school would like to host an event on behalf of the shelter, third-party events are always a good option.

Volunteering

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do and are essential to the SAWC's mission. Volunteers play a crucial role in our operations and participate in many aspects of our programs. There are many positions available to fit your busy schedule!
