Financial Donations

Your financial donations can make a direct impact on the daily lives of refugee families.

Financial gifts are much more than dollars and cents. They help provide a new beginning.

Your gift, no matter the size, will help provide food, clothing, shelter, medical care, employment, and education to those who have lost so much. With your help, the possibilities are endless!

• $1000 can give a refugee family of four a safe place to live for two months.
• $500 can fill kitchen cupboards for 7 newly arriving refugee families.
• $250 can provide learning materials for 17 refugee families studying English.
• $100 can help 8 refugee children get ready for their first day of school in the US.
• $50 can provide bus transportation to work for 40 refugees for one day.
• $25 can give clean bed linens and towels to a refugee family of four.

Your gift to the MVRCR Refugee Resettlement Program is Tax Deductible!

It may also be the perfect gift for the person on your shopping list who is interested in international affairs or helping others in need. Make a contribution in their honor and we will send that individual a special gift card indicating the refugees country of origin for which his/her gift helped.

If you are interested in helping refugees through your financial gift, please mail your check made payable to the MVRCR Refugee Resettlement Fund to the address below:
