General Donations
General Donations go to departments that need them the most. We appreciate and respect any donation items and amounts one can give. However, we promise that 100% of the proceeds go into helping our refugees and their families, and none go into any administrative aid.
Food Pantry
Our monthly food pantry helps roughly 400-500 families obtain food necessities each month. Thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers that show out, we are able to assemble and distribute food boxes containing food essentials such as rice, oil, flour, sugar, lentils, and more. The cost of one food box is roughly $45, your donations allow us to ensure families sufficient food each time.

comfortable life here. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for them.
Refugee General Support
These funds will go directly to costs and expenses in assisting our newly arrived Refugee Families. Many families arrive with only a suitcase of belongings, with limited resources to begin their new life here. We utilize these funds to help assist with necessities to help them get settled. We have received families from all over the world, with countries including Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Jordan, Yemen Ukraine, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and more
Zakat
Zakat is not considered a favor that is given to the poor by the rich. It is the right of the poor on the wealth of the rich. To calculate how much Zakat you are required to pay, please visit our Zakat Calculator.
