Volunteers will arrange a donation drive for items such as hygiene items, school supplies, small household items, or baby items. The goal of the drive is to create Welcome Kits for refugee families. We will provide you with a Welcome Kit List and Guide. We suggest gathering kits from one of the two options below.
1) Separate each category on the Welcome Kit List into separate containers of your choice. Ideas for containers include, but are not limited to: plastic bins, reusable grocery bags, or boxes.
2) Include all of the items on the Welcome Kit List into one container of your choice. Ideas for containers include, but are not limited to: plastic bins, reusable grocery bags, or boxes.
The average family size consists of five people, two adults and three children. We leave the option open for groups to decide which of the two are more convenient for your group in gathering the supplies.
Please note that due to the COVID-19, our office is currently closed. Staff members are currently working from home. Donations can be delivered directly to clients. Please contact the volunteer coordinator for more information at houston@rstx.org.
