Our regular donation links are all still functional (and still the fastest way to get donations to us), as is our wishlist. But if you need a tax receipt, or would like to check a box permanently off your mental to-do list and set up a recurring donation, those options are available here.

Recurring donations are particularly exciting for us (ok, for Michelle), because we could do things like budget for expected expenses with reliable monthly funds.

They have also set up a donation portal for directed funds to us. They have exciting things like online card payment processing! And they are a 501c3, so you can write donations off on your taxes.

And...drumroll...you can set up a recurring donation!

One of those partnerships is with A Radical Guide. Their mission is really cool - a one-stop, cash deductible donation portal that will fund multiple local grassroots orgs, all working, boots on the ground, to take care of ultra local, vulnerable neighbors. You should donate to that mission!

Donations are down a bit from this time last year. And we get it, things are tough right now. But if you can spare some money, we promise to use it to help someone, directly and immediately. And we're so thankful that you help us do it.

-The Dandelion Seeds team

We don't get paid, a generous member of our team donates storage space for supplies, and we donate or do without office supplies. Every penny we collect, and more, goes straight into direct aid to our most vulnerable community members.

126 bags of emergency food, 481 hygiene kits, 79 heat comfort kits, 50 storm survival bags, and 358 packs of Narcan.

What your money doesn't pay for with us is administrative overhead.

With your help. this year we've managed to provide our community with 1436 meals, 5105 bottles of water, 1138 sports drinks, 83 tarps, 59 tents, 260 blankets, 282 packs of wipes, 1625 pairs of socks (thank you #Bombas!), 2174 condoms, 836 harm reduction kits,

$25 buys a case of wipes.
$30 buys a case of hand warmers.
$90 will buy one of the larger tents that are suitable for a couple or a person in a wheelchair or with other mobility issues.

So a donation of $1? That buys someone a meal, a hat, a flashlight, or a pair of gloves. We serve 30-100 people every time we go out. $3 is the cost of a pack of baby wipes - one of our most requested items.
$6 is 40 bottles of water.
$15 pays for the packing containers for one week's meals.

We work hard to make sure every penny we collect has the most impact we can wring out of it.

What is it that your money goes towards?

We budget $1 a serving for our hot meals in the winter, $1.50 a person for our sack lunches in the summer.

Thank you so much to Andrea, Tara, Eileen, and Tess for their help with the prep, and thank you to today’s street team, Michelle, David, Yans, Cori, Nick, Grayson, and Zero.
