  • Donations

    We accept all kinds of physical goods to be donated to the shelter. Clothing, pet goods, household items, and furniture are needed for clients as they transition off the street and into the shelter, and as they move on to their next steps. For large items/furniture please contact us before dropping off.

  • Financial Contributions

    100% of your gift goes directly to clients to help them pay for housing, employment, and health needs.

  • Amazon Wishlist

    The first service we provide for clients when they enter the Buena Creek Navigation Center is a hot shower and clean clothes. Help our clients by purchasing brand new socks and underwear off of our Amazon Wishlist.
