Support the Community Space

Every act of generosity — whether it’s a dollar, a bag of groceries, or an hour of your time — directly fuels our mission of making sure every neighbor has what they need. The Community Space operates entirely on donations and volunteer effort. Your support keeps our doors open, our shelves stocked, and our community cared for.

Choose the way you’d like to give. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real impact.

TCS is a 501(c)(3), so any donation is tax-deductible.
