In-kind Donations
You can help Safe Passage by making an in-kind donation from the list below if you are traveling to Guatemala or arrange for transportation and delivery. Our US development office cannot accept in-kind donations because the transportation, staff time, and logistics often cost more than purchasing these items in Guatemala. If you have any questions please contact outreach@safepassage.org or call the US office at 207-846-1188. This list changes frequently, so be sure to check before donating!
In-kind Donation List
Please note that many school supplies used in North America cannot be used in Guatemala due to specific school requirements for paper sizes, ruled measurements, etc. The list below includes items that are easy to find and inexpensive to purchase but that are currently needed by our students.
