Donations
We desire to continue creating a welcoming community by showing support and meeting practical needs of refugee and other immigrant neighbors. Refugees oftentimes arrive without adequate household items, furniture, or food. Your donations of the items below are so important and appreciated!

Thank you for supporting newly arrived families with Welcome Kits!
Step 1: Download the Lists
Welcome Kits provide the basic household items people need as they begin a new life in our community.
Step 2: Mobilize
Share the list and start assembling your kits! Packing everything in plastic containers with lids and labeling your kit makes storage and delivery easier.
Step 3: Schedule Pick Up or Drop Off
Once your kits are ready, contact our Gift in Kind Coordinator to schedule a pickup or drop off.

More tips for a successful Welcome Kit Drive
- Pre-make bins with the kit lists taped to the outside. It makes it easier to remember to actually fill it up and bring it back AND the bins come in handy during apartment setups.
- Host a packing party where people bring supplies and assemble the kits together. You can also make "Welcome to our community" greeting cards.
