In-Kind Donations

Furniture Need

Help us make our newest Welcome Center a hospitable place for loving refugees and immigrants in their own neighborhood! Do you have any “cozy” furniture (e.g. couch, loveseat, side table, small bookcase, lamp, etc.) that could be utilized in this way? Email Matt at mattr@refugeintl.org with a photo of any possible item(s). Thank you for partnering with us!

Unaccepted Items

Due to our decentralized nature…

With most of our ministry taking place within homes and churches, we are unable to accept most in-kind donations due to our inability to store them.

Generally unaccepted items include:

  • Clothing

  • Food

  • Individual kitchen items

  • Toys

We are happy to direct folks with these types of donations to Walnut Street Baptist Church’s Community Ministries which includes food distribution, a clothes closet, and infant resources. This pantry has been a tremendous blessing especially to Afghan and Ukrainian refugees.

 

Accepted Items

However,

We are always able to accept:

  • Children’s books/Bibles (for our Welcome Centers)

  • Vehicles

And occasionally, we are also able to accept the following items when it has been brought to our attention that a specific refugee or refugee family is currently in need of them:

  • Kitchen sets

  • Bed frames

  • Dressers

  • Tables and Chairs

  • Sofas

  • Entertainment stands

  • TVs

  • Gently used linens

If you are interested in donating one of these items, please email liz@refugeintl.org with:

  1. Description of the item(s)

  2. Photo

  3. Your ability to transport

We will then reach out to our volunteers and should be able to let you know within 1-2 weeks whether or not there is a current need.

In-Kind Acknowledgement Letters are available upon request. Please include the estimated value of your item(s).
