The Morning Warm Up Center is open every day from 7:30 am to 10 am, with breakfast, shower, and laundry available. Our current needs to sustain the Warm Up Center are listed below. Please drop off donations at the American Legion Hall between 7:30 and 10 am. You can also select items from the shelter’s Amazon wish list.
Thank you for your generous and continuous support for our efforts to make a difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness in the West Seattle community.
(A note about clothing donations: We appreciate them very much! What our clients need is clothing useful for adults living outside: sweatshirts, jeans, socks, underwear, jackets, etc. We cannot use items like children’s clothing, office attire, party dresses, clothes that require dry cleaning, etc. Please take those items to West Seattle Clothesline.)
