Resource Closet

 

Side by Side no longer accepts clothing donations as we are now partnering with Diversity Thrift for our clothing needs.

We are accepting toiletry donations (menstrual products, travel size shampoos, lotion, body wash, deodorants, dental care products, etc.)

If you’re interested in donating snacks for our drop-in program, please utilize our Amazon Wishlist! We are accepting general center items for youth as well. Thank you!

Estate Planning & Legacy Gifts

 

As you plan for your estate, you may wish to leave money for Side by Side to continue your legacy and further support our work. We can work with you and your estate planners on how to leave a legacy gift. The following language is often requested by estate planners:

"I give, devise, and bequeath the sum of $_____ to Side by Side VA, Inc., a Virginia corporation (Virginia State Corporation Commission ID number 03697976 and federal employer identification number 54-1572424), for its unrestricted general use.”
