Donate Goods & Services to Support Older Adults in King County

Sound Generations relies on donations from our community to provide essential goods and services that help older adults across Seattle and King County. 

In-kind donations help us to have better access to goods and services that would otherwise be unaffordable and ensure that our programs stay accessible to the tens of thousands of older adults we serve each year. Please order from our Amazon Wish List OR contact Kaitlyn Redwood at kaitlyn.redwood@soundgenerations.org or 206-727-6230 if you have some items you think might be useful to us.

We don’t have much storage for large donations that aren’t immediately needed; please contact us to make sure we can use your items before sending them to us. Thank you!
