Get Involved

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, we will no longer be accepting non-medical related drop-off donations until further notice. However, we are still accepting in-kind donations of our immediate needs such as hand sanitizer, latex gloves face masks, and Clorox wipes. 

There are so many ways to get involved with the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County. Interested in donating your time? Head over to our volunteer page.

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. 

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.

Show our staff that they're appreciated by printing out one of our support signs and hanging it on your fridge, in your window, or posting it on your social media pages.
