Donations for refugee families

Updated as of August 17, 2022

While we are grateful to the community for donated support, we have a small capacity to accept items. Therefore, we have created a list of current family needs so that we only accept what we know a family can use, along with guidelines for what we're able to accept. Once we give approval to drop off your items, please thoroughly clean all items prior to donating to ensure they are ready for the receiving family (pots, dishes, bedding, towels, etc).

How can I donate?

  1. Check to make sure your items are listed as acceptable and if so, check our list of current needs to ensure these items are needed.
  2. Send us an email at donations@nnic.org with details of your items.
  3. Once we confirm we have the capacity to take your donations, we will schedule a time and date for drop off.

If you would like to organize a donations drive, please contact us first to ensure that the donations are currently needed, and we have the capacity to accept

Please do not drop off items at our office! These donations will NOT be accepted.
