Material donations provide the hands-on essentials that directly help people who use HSC’s services. If you are looking for ways to make a difference, consider a gift of material goods.
Donations are accepted Monday - Friday 9:00am - 1:30pm* in the Daytime Essential Services Center office on the right side as you enter the parking lot at 115 Coral Street. Please do not drop off items during the weekend or after hours during the week.
* Arrangements may be made for alternative drop-off days/times by contacting Campus Coordinator Chris Warner at 831-458-6020 ext. 1108.

We would really like art supplies from the community! To support our expressive arts therapy programs, we are asking for donations of paint, paper, charcoals, crafts and glue, etc. These arts programs have proven to be very effective in building confidence and communication skills among our program participants. Thank you for thinking of HSC!
Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE:*We are only able to accept unopened food items; used/open food must be discarded.
*We are unable to accept used books and used toys. We simply receive too many of these for the storage space we have available.
*At this time, we are generally NOT accepting donations of used toys or used children's books, etc. If you feel that you have something truly special and in great shape, please call us to discuss! If you would like to grace us with a new toy for a birthday or holiday gift, we would be happy to accept. We can also always use wrapping paper, ribbon, etc.
