Refugee Resettlement Services
Get Involved
JFCS has already welcomed more than 70 refugees since reinitiating Refugee Resettlement Services in late December. Our Refugee Resettlement services rely on community support. You can help through volunteering, monetary donations, and donations of gently used or new items. We partner with HIAS and ORR to provide services, but your contribution helps fill immediate needs and ensure refugees feel safe, comfortable, and welcome upon their arrival.
Monetary Donations
Monetary contributions allow us to better serve refugees. Contributions fund basic needs and help set refugees for success by supporting housing, food, employment services, childcare, and school re-entry. Contributions of any amount make a difference, whether it can help cover the cost of rent, utilities, groceries, group English classes, school supplies, or other needs. The Refugee Resettlement fund helps refugees enrolled in our four resettlement programs.
Amazon Wishlist
JFCS has created an Amazon Wishlist that includes the items that refugees need to feel comfortable as they start their new lives. Kitchenware, bedding, towels, and cleaning supplies are some of the most helpful items. You can select specific items that JFCS will deliver straight to Tucson refugees.
Donate Items
Refugees often arrive with very few personal items. Furniture, kitchenware, and other home goods are particularly useful. We are gratefully accepting gently used or new items on hand. Please note that we can only accept new beds. All other donated items may be gently used or new.
To donate items, email resettlement@jfcstucson.org.
