Donate 

DVS is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization and receives funding from state grants, private grants, and community donations.

We are dedicated to providing a wide array of services to victims of domestic violence in our communities, and rely on donations and community support to keep operating.

You can make a monetary donation by mailing a check to:

Domestic Violence Services
3311 W. Clearwater Ave., Suite C-140
Kennewick, WA 99336

In an innovative and collaborative effort, New Beginnings Thrift Shop accepts clothing donations on behalf of DVS and then provides clothing to our clients in need.  This partnership allows DVS advocates to focus on working with clients and their children, rather than sorting and organizing donations.

Clothing donations can be made to:

New Beginnings Thrift Shop
1016 Lee Blvd., Richland

Hours: Tu. - Fri. 9a - 5p; Sat. 8a - 4p; Closed Sun. & Mon.

Other items we are in need of are:

DVS is always in need of diapers, cleaning products, personal items, gently used household items such as dishes clean, and non-perishable foods.

We do not have a set drop-off location and cannot pick-up items, but you can call 582-9841 to coordinate making your donation.
