GIVE TODAY
Where Impact Begins
RCS is built on the generosity of our community. There are many ways to support our mission—whether through a financial gift, donations of food or clothing, or both.
Your financial contributions directly fund programs and services that provide food, shelter, and pathways to stability for individuals and families.
We also gratefully accept in-kind donations of non-perishable food and gently used clothing, which help us meet immediate needs and keep our shelves stocked for those we serve.
As a donor, you are a vital partner in this work, ensuring essential resources remain available to those who need them most. Every gift—big or small, monetary or material—strengthens our community and transforms lives, one person and one family at a time.
Small Gifts, Big Impact: Give Monthly
When you join our monthly giving community, you aren’t just making a donation—you’re becoming a partner in our mission. Spreading your support throughout the year makes giving easier for you while providing a predictable lifeline for those we serve. Start your monthly gift today and see how small acts, when combined, create a massive impact.
Honor a Loved One
Thank you for choosing to recognize someone special through a gift to RCS. Whether you are celebrating a joyful milestone or honoring the memory of a loved one, your tribute is a profound act of kindness. By dedicating your gift, you ensure their legacy of compassion continues to change lives in our community. Please share the name of your honoree during checkout, and we will be honored to send a commemorative card to the individual or family you wish to notify.
Donate Food & Clothing
Your generosity provides the essentials our neighbors need most. When you share food and clothing, you are putting your compassion directly into the hands of our community. We are deeply grateful for your help in keeping our shelves stocked and our neighbors clothed.
Food Pantry & Community Kitchen: To keep our pantry ready for those in need, we gratefully accept non-perishable, shelf-stable items. For our Community Kitchen, #10 cans are especially helpful in preparing our daily meals.
The Buy-A-Bag Boutique: We welcome seasonal, gently used clothing to support our boutique. Your stylish and practical donations help our neighbors shop with dignity.
How to Give: Donations are accepted Monday through Friday. For your convenience, please use Guion Street to access our Warehouse (for food) or our Boutique (for clothing). Thank you for being the hands and feet of RCS.
Create a Legacy
Your vision for the future is the greatest gift you can share with us. By choosing to include RCS in your estate plans, you are providing a foundation of hope that will sustain our mission for generations to come. Whether through a simple bequest in your will or a more tailored financial gift, your foresight ensures that compassion always has a home at RCS.
As a legacy donor, we would be honored to welcome you into The Samaritan Society—a special circle of friends dedicated to staying connected with our work and witnessing the lasting impact of their generosity.
