There are many ways you can support our Refugee Assistance Services.
Give Needed Supplies
When new arrivals come to the U.S., they are often bringing very few belongings. RAIS relies on the support of donors to provide new and gently used items to families to help them establish their new lives in the U.S.
We encourage you to view our full RAIS Wish List before making a donation. Please view our RAIS Giving Guide to learn how to best support our program through in-kind donations! Thank you for your generosity!
Volunteer Opportunities
RAIS works with volunteers from the community, college interns and practicum students, and groups looking to do special volunteer projects. Learn more about current volunteer opportunities.
