Donate Pet Supplies & Help a Family in Need

Make an impact this week by donating to YWCA Spokane!

Our Domestic Violence Safe Shelter is in need of pet supplies! Providing cat carriers, canned pet foods, small bags of cat litter, small bags of dry cat or dry dog food, dog and cat collars and leashes, and non tipping food and water bowls to our agency makes a huge impact on the families we serve. Please consider donating as part of our SundayImpact campaign this week!

 

It’s the Dog Days of Summer; Donate Pet Supplies to the Shelter

We are currently asking for pet supplies for our Shelter. These can include donations of lcat carriers, canned pet foods, small bags of cat litter, small bags of dry cat or dry dog food, dog and cat collars and leashes, and non tipping food and water bowls; anything to help our families fleeing domestic violence with pets adjust to a new home. We invite the community to drop-off their tax-deductible donations of seed packets to YWCA Spokane’s office at 930 N. Monroe St, Spokane, WA 99201. Thank you for your support!

More Ways to Give


Looking to donate other used items?

Check out these awesome places to recycle worn denim, used furniture, and many other items that are not the best fit for YWCA Spokane’s programs and services.

  • Blue Jeans Go Green: This program collects denim across the country and upcycles it into UltraTouchTMDenim Insulation, providing a portion to communities in need each year.
  • The Salvation Army: Schedule a free pick-up to your door too! The Salvation Army asks that communities donate before throwing away goods.
  • Terracycle Fabrics and Clothing Zero Waste Box: Purchase a box to fill with clothing and fabric to ship to Terracycle to be repurposed.
  • The Bra Recyclers: An organization that will find a way to recycle, reuse or repurpose bras. You can find a drop-off station or mail old bras directly to them.
  • Council for Textile Recycling: Find clothing donation drop-offs and textile recycling resources all across the US. Keep in mind the donation suggestions might not recycle “unwearable” textiles. I recommend calling the individual recommended locations before making a drop-off.
  • GemText: Free textile recycling based right here in the Northwest! Support a regional business and recycle your goods.
  • Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles: An online platform that will help you find the nearest textile recycling outlets near you.
  • H&M, Don’t Let Fashion Go To Waste – You can drop off your textiles from any brand, in any condition, at any H&M store globally and they’ll recycle it for you.
  • Nike, Reuse-A-Shoe: Nike collects old athletic shoes from any brand that they grind up and use to create courts, fields, tracks, and playgrounds.

Thank you to our donors!

Thank you to our amazing community! You all truly make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Day 2: Hair

Hair is a powerful expression of identity, culture, and beliefs. For many, it reflects heritage, from African braids to Indigenous long hair, each style carrying deep meaning.

Day 1: Abortion Access

Abortion is legal in Spokane, but access is hindered by cost, travel, and confusing laws. Marginalized groups face the most barriers. Local resources like Planned Parenthood help, but more support is needed.
