Migration & Refugee Services

Donate

Provide hope with your generosity.

We rely on your support to meet the basic needs of new arrivals. Your generosity has a huge impact on the daily life of a refugee and will help ensure that newcomers receive what they need as they begin their new lives in our communities. If you are interested in making a donation or setting up a donation drive, please call our office at (216) 939-3759.

MRS accepts many donations, both in-kind and monetary contributions, to support our services. In-kind donations are given directly to clients or used in setting up new houses for families arriving in the U.S. Below is an up-to-date list of our most needed new or gently used household supplies.
