How to support our mission
Your support for The Navigation Center positively impacts our ability to empower individuals and families in crisis, to lead sustainable and independent lives. Thank you for your donation.
Support families and individuals on their path to stability
Each month, The Navigation Center relies on the generosity of community members, local organizations, churches, and businesses to help meet the needs of the families and individuals we serve.
This year, we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of people seeking assistance - especially those experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their housing. With that increase comes a greater need for essential supplies and support. That’s where you come in.
When you’re out shopping, please consider adding a few of these items to your cart and dropping them off at our location.
If you prefer to donate your time, please visit our volunteer page to learn more

Hats, ponchos and gloves
Snacks
Cleaning supplies (Lysol/Clorox wipes)

Clothing donations
We accept clothing donations on Mondays from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm and Fridays from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Please limit any donations of clothing to the following items:
T-shirts
Jeans
Pants
Shorts
Sweatpants
Sweatshirts
Jackets
Sneakers/tennis shoes
For hygiene purposes, we ask that underwear and socks be donated new rather than used items. We do not have the space to accommodate items outside of basic everyday-wear clothing items listed above. We also ask for items to be in clean condition when donated, as we do not have the means to launder clothing donations. Thank you!!!
A special thank you to our sponsors. Without their support, our work would not be possible.
