HamiltonFamilyCenter

While we don’t have a lot of extra room in our facilities, there are some items that families always need. Please feel free to donate these items all year long! If you wish to donate to our wish list, please contact our Development Department at (415) 409-2100 ext. 119 or development@hamiltonfamilycenter.org.

We ask that linens, clothing, shoes, and toys be new and in their original packaging; while furniture, technology, and other domestic items can be new or gently-used.

As the Holidays approach, we will update this wish-list and provide additional information about holiday giving and needs in our programs. Thank you for your interest in making in-kind donations to Hamilton Family Center.
