Material Donations
When refugees come to Lane County, they typically arrive with little more than clothing and a few personal items. This can also be true of the asylum seekers we support.
We collect a wide variety of household items such as furniture, kitchen items, and bedding, to help refugees make a new start in our community.
If you have items you would like to donate, please fill out our Contact form with information about what you’d like to donate. Someone from the Coalition will be in touch with you.
While the Refugee & Immigrant Services Program goes through staff transitions, we are temporarily pausing new volunteer intakes through the Refugee Resettlement Coalition website. Please check back on or after 12/15/2025 for updates.
Specific volunteer asks may continue to be published in the Refugee Resettlement Coalition monthly newsletter. If you are not yet subscribed, we invite you to fill out the form at the bottom of our homepage!
Volunteers are key to our work. Welcoming, advocating for, and walking alongside newcomers effectively involves the whole community, not just one or two organizations. We greatly appreciate your interest in supporting refugees and immigrants here in Lane County, and hope to connect with you once capacity allows.
If you are looking for other ways to provide support while volunteer intakes are on pause, we invite you to:
- Consider donating to the Refugee & Immigrant Services Program
- Support your local food networks (food pantries, little free pantries, etc.) to help those impacted by loss of SNAP eligibility
