Give Items

Refugee families arrive in Minnesota with very few belongings and limited financial resources. Your donated household and other items (new or nearly new) provide the gifts of welcome and hospitality to our newest neighbors and help ease the financial strain of resettlement. Click here to make a financial donation.

Interested in donating essential household items? Please refer to our list of accepted items below, select from our online registry, or build a Welcome Kit!
