Are there any specific or descriptive so that us not in the Muslim community (aka Americans such as myself) can have a reference as to what is actually needed/not needed and why. Of course, I know you help everyone, but it is good to know as there are things Americans wouldn’t consider or just don’t know exist.

We accept (For Refugees and Unfortunate people):

  • All pots, pans, etc are appreciated but there are many requests for larger pots/pans as families can be quite large and this makes it easier for them to cook.
  • Electric Coffee Makers are not as common as most families we assist tend to make Turkish coffee.
  • Blenders, food processors, air fryers, tea kettles, pressure pots etc. However Slow Cooker, Toasters and Electric Roasters are not needed because most families are accostomed to cook their food from scratch.
  • Booster seats for older children (this must be less than 10 years from the manufacturing date as this is considered expired; they cannot be used if they were previously in a car wreck, even if they look fine. Same rules apply for car seats)
  • Since many families do not always sit at tables for meals, but prefer to sit on the floor as per their culture, Then carpets and disposable mats are needed as well.

Do you accept any clothes, shoes or books?

Unfortunately, we don't accept any clothes or shoes or books unless they are upon request from the recipient families. The donation that is given must be new or gently used and must match the same size and gender requested.

Other type of clothes that we accept:

We have initiated a project called Sister's Closet: for the hijabi Muslim sisters. The rack of the clothes is placed in the mosques for any female enters and would like to try out the modest Islamic clothes. We only accept headscarves (hijabs), underscarves, Abayas and Jilbabs. They must be new or gently used.
