Ways to give

Choose the way
that’s right for you.

Whether you give financially, with your time, through prayer, or with everyday goods — every act of generosity plays a vital role in what we do.

Give Financially

Make a secure one-time or recurring online donation. Every gift — large or small — directly funds shelter, meals, and life-change programs.

Planned Giving

A bequest, trust, or beneficiary designation to Shelter KC ensures that long after you’re gone, the homeless and hurting in Kansas City continue to find hope here.

Immediate Needs

Our guests need practical items every single day — hygiene products, clothing, household goods, and food staples. Donating in-kind items is one of the most direct ways to put care into the hands of someone in crisis.

Give Through Prayer

Prayer is foundational to everything we do. Join a community of intercessors standing in the gap for the men and women in our care — those wrestling with addiction, trauma, and hopelessness — and for the staff who walk beside them.
