PARCA especially needs clothing, shoes and small, usable household items. Your donation helps people with developmental disabilities in the San Francisco Bay Area.

PARCA is a 501(c)3, Tax ID# 94-1650851. Consult your tax adviser. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code requirements for substantiation of charitable contributions, no goods or services were provided in return for your tax-deductible contribution. 

Host a Clothing Donation Drive

Looking for a fast and easy way to volunteer your time? Host a clothing donation drive at your office, neighborhood or place of worship. Hosting a clothing drive is a great way to give back to the community with very little time commitment. PARCA is happy to work with our partner hosts to provide promotional templates for flyers and posters, as well as consult to provide maximum exposure for your clothing drive. 

Many corporations eagerly embrace clothing donations as a team building or Spring Cleaning exercise that involves a minimum time commitment from staff. In most cases all it takes is approval from Human Resources, a date and a series of simple, internal email reminders to staff. Clothing does not need to be stored onsite as PARCA will pick up the clothing on the day of the clothing drive. 

Contact our PARCA’s Director of Contributions & Customer Service, Joel Bouza, at (650) 312-6903 or email joelb@PARCA.org for more information.
