Diapers
Donate diapers in all sizes to support refugee families in need. This is great to pair with a baby wipes donation. This is a great community project or Eagle Scout project! We can only accept disposable diapers and they must be in the original, unopened packaging.
Size 4-7 are highly needed.
Baby Wipes
Donate wipes to support refugee families in need. We accept any brand or size as long as they are unopened.
Laundry Detergent
Refugee families are often large and that means a lot of laundry each week! Support these families by donating 100-120 ounce bottles of liquid laundry detergent.

Toilet Paper
This basic need can take a toll on tight budgets. Support refugee families with this daily need. No preference on brand, but 6-12 packs are easiest to distribute.
