Family to Family: Giving refugee families a Hand-Up by sharing
Hand-Me-Downs
Refugee families
arrive in San Diego with few resources. The International Rescue
Committee (IRC) helps them to rebuild their lives and become productive
members of our community. With the high cost of living in San Diego,
newly arrived refugee families face budgeting challenges. Your child’s
gently used clothing, shoes, and toys can make a difference for these
families in need. The items will not be sold in a thrift shop; you will
give them directly to a refugee family.
How
it works:
1.
Fill out
this form and
tell us the age/gender of your children under 12
2.
We’ll
match you with a refugee family who has children of the same age/gender
(probably just a bit younger)
3.
We’ll
introduce you to the family
4.
When
your children outgrow their clothes, shoes, toys, and books, you
hand-them-down to the refugee family
