Host a Donation Drive

  1. Review our high needs list and confirm your ability to collect items. We recommend collecting donations from a singular, high-needs category to support our team's ability to properly distribute donated items. Please note we can only accept NEW and factory-sealed donations, with the exception of gently-used clothing items. 
  2. Provide your information and donation drive details by calling (602) 818-3662 or emailing volunteers@nativeconnections.org. Our team will be in touch to confirm details and help support your donation drive drop-off.
  3. Host your drive! We are incredibly grateful for your support. When you've completed your collection, contact our team to coordinate your donation drop-off.

  4. Deliver items to NAC's Stepping Stone Place at 1311 N 14th St, Phoenix, AZ 85006. If you will be dropping off at a different NAC site, you must coordinate with donation staff ahead of time.

  5. You've done it! Congratulations and thank you for making this donation drive a success!

A "chronically homeless" individual is defined to mean a homeless individual with a disability who lives either in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter or in an institutional care facility if the individual has been living in the facility for fewer than ninety (90) days and had been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven or in an emergency shelter immediately before entering the institutional care facility. In order to meet the ‘‘chronically homeless’’ definition, the individual also must have been living as described above continuously for at least twelve (12) months or on at least four (4) separate occasions in the last three (3) years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least twelve (12) months. Each period separating the occasions must include at least seven (7) nights of living in a situation other than a place not meant for human habitation, in an emergency shelter or in a safe haven.

Federal nondiscrimination laws define a person with a disability to include any (1) individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individual with a record of such impairment; or (3) individual who is regarded as having such an impairment. In general, a physical or mental impairment includes, but is not limited to, examples of conditions such as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), developmental disabilities, mental illness, drug addiction, and alcoholism.
