The Refugee Support Center is a 501(c)3 charitable, non-profit community service agency. We receive no federal government funding and are on a shoestring budget. No donation is too small.

Organize a Collection Drive
- Collect from others and donate paper products: paper towels, toilet paper, and boxes of tissues. Collect from others and prepare bags of personal hygiene products. All will be distributed to families in need.
- Organize a collection and donate diapers, OR contribute to our GoFundMe campaign.
- Donate new, unopened, household cleaning supplies to the RSC to give to families.
- Donate clothing. Gently used clothes for all ages are accepted based on need and storage space. Please call to inquire about whether we are accepting clothing donations.
If you are interested in donating a functional, reliable car, we are often able to match with a family in need. Four-door cars, SUVS and minivans, all with auto transmissions, are desired. Clear titles are required. If you have a vehicle to donate, contact our office and we will send someone to examine the vehicle.
Fundraisers
If you're considering holding a fundraiser, let us help.
Important Note
While we are grateful for all items offered, we have very limited storage and the needs of our clients change frequently. During the pandemic we are only accepting unopened items from collection drives and purchases of new clothing. Thank you for remembering that due to limited storage space, all items are accepted only on a prearranged basis; please do not leave donations at our door after hours. They will be discarded.
If you are interested in donating furniture, or any other item not listed above, you must contact our office ahead of time to be sure there is a need for what you would like to donate. If you can hold onto your item until it is needed, and if you can assist with delivery, we will do our best to find refugees who will put your item to good use.
We DO NOT accept appliances.
"Not only are we distributing donated items to cash-strapped families, but we are also distributing community goodwill to a population to whom that is not always conveyed."
