Helping people learn
Last year over 1,000 people attended refugee cultural nights.
Helping people serve
Last year we coordinated over 34,000 hours of service benefiting refugees.
Helping people give
In conjunction with Granite School District’s Educational Equity Department, we collected and distributed over $800,000 in goods and services to the refugee community last year.
We create meaningful connections between refugees, the community, and public and private organizations that support refugees in developing self-sufficient and fulfilling lives.
Huge thanks for all of you in our Utah Refugees Connection/Serve Refugee community for rallying to get us “All Purpose” Kits! We have not been able to keep up with the demand.
Whether you donated to our fund (link in profile) or are bringing in kits, we are so grateful.
Keeping refugee families homes clean and germ free will help so much.

Welcome to any new friends! This page is run by Utah Refugee Connection. Our focus is to give you ways to LEARN about, SERVE, and GIVE to local refugees in meaningful ways. Thanks for following along and helping our refugee community feel welcome!
We have one “All Purpose” kit left in our Sharehouse. We’ve had a high demand for these and are having a hard time keeping up.
We want to help refugee families keep their homes clean and free of germs. We’d love your help!
Rally some friend or neighbors or simply share this post.
Challenge two people to help by tagging them.
We know on Thursday, we will have refugees and social workers asking for these kits.

We are also happy to go get the items and create a kit for you. Donation link is in our profile under “All Purpose Kit Emergency Fund”.
Our focus is to give you meaningful ways to LEARN about, SERVE and GIVE to local refugees.
This is an opportunity to GIVE.
This All Purpose kit is our most requested. These kits are given out to refugees as incentives for attending workshops and classes that lead to self sufficiency. We need them year round and are currently low on these.
Many of the items in this kit cannot be purchased with their SNAP/food benefit card, so they are incredibly helpful. Also, cleaning supplies are important for keeping families well.
If you are looking for a small or large project in the coming weeks, consider this kit.
Please do not add or take out items. Consistency is important. Brand of items does not matter.
You can drop them at our Sharehouse in South Salt Lake or our Utah County drop off.

When we create and share kits with members of the refugee community, it is a reminder that there are hundreds of people that care about them and want them to feel welcome here.
Throughout the year we try and have events to teach them about America’s unique holidays. Valentines Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween can be confusing. We’ve suspended those events until covid is not so pervasive but still want them to have holiday items and feel special. Eventually, we will be back to large scale celebrations. Until then, thanks for contributing Valentine kits and donating toward “You Belong Bags!”
We wish you could see the faces of those who receive of the items that you generously make possible.
It’s a joy!
We only have 4 more drop off days for Valentine Kits.
If you are out shopping this weekend, pick up an extra box or two for our refugee neighbors.
We will take Valentine kits until February 2. (We need time to package the “You belong bags” and distribute them in the community.
Gender neutral boxes appreciated. No candy kits please.
