Every child experiencing homelessness that we serve receives a NEW backpack filled with school supplies. We are also distributing art kits and gift cards to students. Help us make sure that every student we serve has a backpack, school supplies, and resources to learn. 

IMGH Refugee Services is hosting a donation drive for the ongoing school supplies needs of our clients. New students who arrive in the Houston area will be able to receive much-needed school supplies when they arrive in the United States.  

1 in 4 women struggled to purchase period products within the past year due to lack of income. In addition, 1 in 5 low-income women report missing work, school, or similar events due to lack of access to period supplies.

The lack of period products can have an immense impact to someone and has been linked to using substitute products (toilet tissue or socks), stretching product usage, and missing important events.

Join the Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) for Women’s History month to participate in a "period pack" kit assembly event. The packs will be donated to the Alliance for Period Supplies through local diaper banks.

To participate, purchase and donate items via this page until Tuesday March 10^th, 2023.

Period packing will take place onsite the following week at Hudson Yards, Bethlehem, and Holmdel.

Sign up HERE for the in-person packing events.

For any questions, please reach out to Sarah Tegley at sarah_tegley@glic.com.

Please note that donations made via Roonga are not eligible for a matching donation via Guardian for Good as they are not a direct cash donation to a nonprofit organization. 

After the events in Afghanistan that occurred in the last year, Afghan families are already arriving and resettling in Silicon Valley, seeking safety and a better life for themselves and for their children. Many of these families left their home country with very few possessions of their own, and we are calling in our community to support these families as they rebuild their lives here in Santa Clara County. 

As we have for almost five decades, AACI welcomes these newest members of our diverse community and stands ready to assist them as they adjust to their new lives. AACI’s Center for Survivors of Torture is the only specialized behavioral health program in Santa Clara County to provide services to newly arrived refugees. We hope you will join us in welcoming our newest neighbors and in doing all that we can to assist them during this transition.

DONATION GUIDELINES:

Please note that AACI has a new items only policy. Because these families and individuals are currently going through the process of resettling into a new home and many arrived with only a small bag of their personal belongings, we want to ensure that all donations are new and unused to help them rebuild their lives with dignity.

How do I know which families need support or what items I should donate?

• You can choose an individual or family to "adopt" by selecting a profile below.
• By clicking on a profile, you can learn more about the individual or family's background and wish list(s).
• Please note: we ask that you sponsor a family only if you are able to fulfill the entire family's wish list. For larger families that may have larger wish lists, we encourage you to gather your friends and/or family members to collect and donate items together.

Is there a deadline for when I need to donate by?

• Certain wish lists have a fulfillment deadline. The deadline will be included in the profile description.

If you have any questions regarding your donation, please reach out to the Resource Development team via email (development@aaci.org).

Donate NEW, UNWRAPPED TOYS by purchasing them here! It’s that easy!

9 Family Connection, 27 Community Connection, and Hope Now International are partnering to help Toys for Tots collect holiday gifts for children living in Volusia County. Your support will benefit children right here in Central Florida. The holidays can be a particularly difficult time for the thousands of Central Floridians who will benefit from a simple hand up. This year, the need is even greater, as more Central Floridians are relying on help as a result of job loss, home loss and other economic related hardships. The gift of a toy can mean so much to a child who otherwise may have to do without. 

Your online shopping will provide toys directly to local children through Toys for Tots. Please feel free to share this link with family, friends and co-workers. Everyone can GET INVOLVED!

Thank you for your participation in this worthwhile endeavor and best wishes for the season.
