Due to an Executive Order, the United States Refugee Admission Program is currently on pause, affecting the arrival of New Americans into the country. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept material or household-type donations for recently arrived clients. The Executive Order is in effect indefinitely.

Fiscal donations, gift cards and volunteering opportunities are still welcomed and much appreciated.

Become a Community Sponsor. Community Sponsors are groups of individuals (such as local clubs, businesses, university communities, faith groups, sports teams, book clubs) who commit to providing support (including financial and/or in-kind) to New Americans in order to support their welcome and integration.

  • Ongoing Collection Sponsors: Ongoing Collection Specialty Sponsors identify an item (or items) that they want to collect that will benefit clients on an ongoing or regular basis. This can be the collection and compilation of Kits, or the ongoing collection of specific, frequently–needed items (such as formula, trash bags, etc.).
  • As-Needed Purchase Sponsors: As-Needed Purchase Specialty Sponsors agree to sponsor the purchase of specific, frequently needed items, up to a certain dollar amount. This can include mattresses, trash cans, bed frames, winter gear, etc.
  • Ambassadors: Ambassadors are groups of individuals (from a civic organization, cultural organization, community group, spiritual/faith group, etc.) who walks shoulder to shoulder with new arrivals to support them during the initial resettlement period (first 90 days). The goal of this program is self-sufficiency for new arrivals.
