Donations are wonderful but often it can be tricky to know what is helpful so we made a handy list.
- Clothing, it can be really difficult to find clothes that are affirming as a trans person. Not to mention how intimidating going in person can be, that’s why we like to help by navigating sizing with them and giving them a safe space to find what makes them comfortable.
- Binders/Bras/Undergarments, these are the main things we hand out to people. They are incredibly important for a lot of trans folk but can be difficult to get discreetly, and to determine sizing online. Plus there are a lot of dangerous ones, and if sized incorrectly they can be incredibly dangerous.
- Deodorant, Shampoo, conditioner, especially more gendered ones can be really euphoric and many trans folk have difficulty getting them. Especially getting them safely.
- Money, this is honestly one of the most useful things we can get as it allows us to figure out where it would be most needed at that time and allows us to make sure we have the correct sizes for people.
- Time, things that cost money aren’t the only thing we need. Taking a few minutes to tell someone about us can make a big difference. And if you have more time check out our “Volunteer!” page to see how you can help in a more long term way.
