Urgent Non-Monetary Needs
Join us to meet urgent needs across our city and beyond. You can help as follows:
Strollers and baby/toddler car seats: For newly arrived migrant families, we are looking for these items in good, working condition. Please contact us to coordinate drop off/pick up.
Adult and Children Clothes: We continue to have a huge need for seasonal clothes (washed and in good condition) and gently worn shoes for families and individuals who are living in shelters or those who have recently lost their jobs. We need coats, jeans, sweatpant, t-shirts, and kids clothes. We can also help you organize a coat drive at your school or work place.
Toiletries: Our families need full and travel size baby shampoo, baby lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bars of soap, nail clippers, toothpaste and toothbrushes. Please email us to coordinate drop off/pick up.
