Winter Clothing Drive

Help support refugees rebuilding their lives in the U.S.

Members of the Westchester Refugee Initiative are collecting warm clothing and other items for refugees in Westchester, New York City and Connecticut.

We have gathered a specific list of needs from our partners at Catholic Charities, HIAS and IRIS, as well as some of our WRI member groups. Coats and boots are the biggest need!

Please see our wish list at the link below and sign up for any items that you will contribute. Items can be either NEW or LIGHTLY USED and CLEAN.
