2018 Homeless Services Auction Wishlist

In order to raise the most money for those living in poverty and homelessness our auction depends on item donations. This allows proceeds from each item auctioned at our event to go directly to those in need. Below we have listed some items and item types that we’re hoping to auction at this year’s event.

If you would like to donate or have ideas for this list, please, contact Jonathan at jonathanr@ccsww.org or 253.502.2744.
