I have someone that wants to donate two wooden twin bed frames and another that wants to donate a toddler bed frame. No mattresses, just the frames. The toddler bed takes a crib mattress in it. Would you accept those as donations?

We have multiple sheet sets in good condition. All are single-bed size. Will you accept them for donation?

IRIS- Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services | Sep 27, 2021

Hi Alice - yes, we would love to have these items. We are not accepting many donations these days, due to COVID, but we are in need of single/twin sheet sets. You can drop them off on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings, at the BACK of our building (enter back parking lot off of Willow Street, next to Shell Station) between 9 - 11am when our staff are onsite for food pantry set-up and distribution. Thank you!!

Do you accept clothing donations? I tried to look on the website, but I only found options to donate money. I have a ton of clothes and even shoes that I’d hate to throw away when I know someone can use them. Please get back to me if possible!

Mariah Jocelyn | Sep 27, 2021
IRIS- Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services | Sep 27, 2021

Thanks for thinking of refugees & immigrants, Mariah! Unfortunately we are not able to accept regular clothing and shoes. We are accepting winter/waterproof boots and warm winter gloves. Those can be dropped off on a Wednesday morning, between 9 - 11am, at our back door off the parking lot accessible via Willow street, next to the Shell Station. Thank you!

Hi, I have a washer dryer set that we are taking out to do a renovation. They both work great. Would it be possible to donate them? There is also an over-the-range microwave and an electric oven/stove

Jennifer Strauss | Sep 27, 2020
Ann OBrien | Sep 27, 2020

Hi Jennifer - Thank you SO MUCH for thinking of refugees and of IRIS for these items. Unfortunately we cannot use them given the apartments we typically secure for our clients which either already have the kitchen appliances or don't allow for washer/dryers. Many, many thanks again, though, for thinking of us!
