Wellspring Family Services

Warm weather is here, and our Family Store's most requested items are toddler clothes and shoes for the summer months! Help us stock up on new or gently used shoes, shorts, t-shirts, dresses, and other summer essentials to keep our families cool and comfortable. You can drop off donations between 9 am - 4:30 pm at 1900 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle. [About Family Store] The Wellspring Family Store offers families facing or experiencing homelessness a place to get clothing, hygiene items, new socks, and other essentials at no cost. These shopping trips allow families to stretch their budgets further, freeing up funds to put towards other critical expenses that help move them closer to housing stability. #FamilyHomelessness #WellspringFS #Donate
