Welcome to the 2024 Holiday Giving page! If you’d like to support Compass’s mission with a financial gift this holiday season, we greatly appreciate your support.
- Gifts for our individuals/families: Our primary need this year is gift cards for our residents! This way, they can get exactly what they want for themselves or their families, which is extremely empowering to them. You have two options to donate gift cards:
- Please give to our Holiday Gift Fund. We’ll do the work of purchasing the cards.
- Purchase gift cards directly. Purchase in $25 increments from Walmart, Fred Meyer, or Amazon, and contact us for details on how to get them to us.
- Other gift options: Check out our Holiday Gift Guide via our Amazon WishList (if you are ordering directly from this page, shipping straight to Compass is an included option, so just be sure to include your name so we know it came from you).
- Provide a holiday meal: Nothing says Happy Holidays like sharing a meal! Partner with us by helping sponsor a holiday party or by providing a meal at one of our 20 programs. If interested, please contact Sam at: Volunteer@compasshousingalliance.org.
Unwrapped gifts are needed no later than December 16 so that they can be wrapped at our holiday gift-wrapping parties (info below). The Compass on Dexter office is our holiday hub: 220 Dexter Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109. This is the central location we use for all holiday donations. Please contact us at Volunteer@compasshousingalliance.org to arrange drop-off times.

Holiday Cookie Extravaganza
Do you love to bake? Do you love to see people smile? Then this opportunity is for you! Many of our guests and residents love cookies (who doesn’t?!), especially during the holiday season. So bake or bring your favorite store-bought holiday cookies and spread some joy!
- Cookies can be homemade or store-bought and should be bundled in sets of 24.
- You CAN make/bring other baked goodies (brownies, bars, etc.).
- We do not have freezer/fridge space for items that need to be stored cold, please do not donate baked goodies that *need* to be refrigerated.
- All homemade goodies MUST have a recipe card with them that lists the full list of ingredients. If your recipe contains nuts of any kind, please make a clear note.
- Please deliver cookies to our Compass on Dexter location. Accepting donations between Dec 17 – Dec 19 by 7:00pm.
- Compass on Dexter is located at 756 John Street, Seattle, WA 98109. Call 206-719-9137, and Sam will meet you to let you into the building. Early drop-offs are always welcome, so please contact Sam to coordinate at: Volunteer@compasshousingalliance.org.
