Sponsor

SHO sponsors help us provide sandwiches, healthy snacks, coats, and more.

Outreach Sponsorship Make Sandwiches or Healthy Snack Packs

For each outreach SHO does, we have a fantastic group of sponsors provide pre-made sandwiches or snack packs. This activity is perfect for school kids, scout troops, youth groups, and corporate giving campaigns.

Donation Drives Host a Donation Drive

Each year, people across our community host donation drives to benefit SHO clients: coats, backpacks, socks, hygiene supplies, flashlights and batteries, blankets, and outdoor gear are all great options.

Supply Requests Help Fulfill a Special Request

Our clients sometimes have needs that we can’t meet without a little help. If you’re interested in sponsoring special requests, we can connect specific requests with you.

Partner with us

We partner with people and organizations throughout the Seattle area.

Better Together Help Us Reach More People in Need

We partner with organizations with similar missions to make a bigger impact. SHO works with Operation Nightwatch, Peoples Harm Reduction Alliance, and Real Change’s community resource guides to connect people with the services they need.

Pet Services Help Our Furry Friends

We all love our pets, but those without shelter often have an even tighter bond with their animals. SHO has supportive partnerships from the Humane Society Pet Food Bank and local veterinary services to make sure our clients and their furry family members stay safe and healthy.

Partnership Opportunities Let’s Join Forces

Other ways to help? We have wonderful support from sponsors like KIND bars, Stevens Pass, and Die Cut Stickers, who each sponsor an annual coat drive--and also provide us with in-kind services and donations. Let us know if you want to help!
