The 15 Household & Hygiene Supplies

Refugees Need

(that food stamps won’t cover)

Refugees work hard to create better lives for themselves and their families. They face difficult choices and limited incomes. They shouldn’t have to choose between dinner and diapers. Every month, Stock the Shelves distributes thousands of dollars of new household and hygiene supplies to over 125 refugee families, nearly 500 people. Whether you’re making a financial donation, donating supplies or volunteering your time, it’s all about these 15 items.
