Donation Drive for Downtown Streets Team!
Starting November 28 through December 23, we are collecting items for donation for our partners at Downtown Streets Team (DST)—a local nonprofit working to end homelessness through the dignity of work. The DST Petaluma Team services the River Park twice a week, keeping it clean of trash and debris.
This season we are helping collect much needed items to support DST team members. There are two ways to participate:
Drop off items anytime Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm, at our office: Petaluma River Park Foundation Headquarters, 101 H Street, Suite B, Petaluma, CA
Join us for a group walk at the River Park on Saturday, December 3 to donate items and enjoy a complimentary hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa! See event info here
What are we collecting?
Team members always need the basics, like socks and warm clothes, but we are also collecting hygiene items to support DST’s new Mobile Shower program:
DST recently started a mobile shower program in partnership with the City of Petaluma and Solairus Aviation. This new venture is called Downtown Streets Team: The Showers. A mobile shower is exactly what it sounds like—a facility on wheels that provides showers to the unhoused community. Everyone deserves a shower!

Please only donate items that are new or in very good shape. All food and hygiene items must be unopened and in their packaging, please.
