How you can help

INTERESTED IN DONATING TIME OR RESOURCES?

There are many different ways that you can play an essential role in serving the needs of refugees. Here are just a few:

• Become a mentor or a first friend
• Help set up a newly arrived family’s household
• Assist with English Language classes
• Make a financial contribution
• Make in-kind donations
• Join our public education and advocacy initiatives
• Tell friends or colleagues about what we do

Additionally, we greatly appreciate gently used household items to help furnish households of newly arriving refugee families. Feel free to drop the items at our office or ask us to pick them up in our moving truck, almost always free of charge.

If you live West of 120th St., or the furniture is not on the bottom level of a home, or the item is too heavy for 1-2 people to carry, a moving fee may be added to your pick-up.

Thank you for understanding!

If you have donations to pick up, please e-mail Abdelhamid Mohamed at [email protected] with your donation offer, address, and phone number.

After scheduling an appointment with us to pick up your donations, please bring all furniture or household items to your garage, driveway, or a location that is easy for our movers to access.

Gently used donated items wish list:

• kitchen tables
• kitchen chairs
• bed frames (full or twin)
• sofas
• loveseats
• lamps
• dressers
• pots/pans/plates/cups/silverware
• rice cookers
• coffee tables
