Welcome Kits
Welcome Kit Supply List
Refugee families arrive in Minnesota with very few belongings and limited financial resources.  Welcome Kits help to ease the strain of resettlement by providing basic household items to newly arrived families.  This means that families don’t have to expend their limited time and resources to attain these necessities.  Perhaps most importantly of all, the gift of a welcome kit offers a message of welcome and hospitality to our newest neighbors.


Current Needs at Refugee Services:

New and gently used winter coats, especially adult smalls

House-Keeping Kits: small/medium wastebasket filled with dish soap, laundry detergent, all purpose cleaner (like 409), pack of sponges, box of trash bags, and a small dustpan/broom set

New and gently used sheets

Pillows

Shampoo/conditioner

Rice cookers, 8-10 cup capacity
Rice is the staple food for Karen and other Asian refugees.   Rice cookers are without doubt the first purchase for these families because they are needed to cook the style of rice that they eat at every meal.
