Donate a home or property

Donating property to Catholic Charities of Oregon is a thoughtful, generous way to create a major impact on the housing issues that face the underserved members of our community. We turn gifted property and buildings into life-sustaining permanent housing. Contact our Development Office at donations@ccoregon.org if you’d like to learn more about donation options or to discuss a particular property or building donation.

Donate a vehicle

You can donate your car, boat, or recreational vehicle (even if it’s not running) to Catholic Charities of Oregon. The proceeds from the sale will be used to fund our programs and services. Catholic Charities of Oregon partners with Speed’s towing to have your vehicle towed at no cost to you.

Donating goods

Catholic Charities of Oregon is not a donation center, but we do have a need for select donation items that align with client needs.

Due to our limited storage and staff capacity, we are not able to accept every in-kind donation offered. We prioritize the needs of our clients and are grateful for your support of our efforts.
