Winter Clothing Donations Needed

As the weather turns cold, refugees in need of warm winter clothing turn to the IRC Baltimore’s Resettlement Shop for free coats, hats, boots, and other items. 
 
The IRC ensures that refugees have basic necessities—beds, linens, kitchen table and chairs, cooking utensils, and hygiene products—but we rely solely on donations to go beyond the basics to help recently arrived refugee families create their new homes. Please consider enlisting your friends, relatives and colleagues on a joint donation project to support refugee families in their critical first months in the U.S.
