International Rescue Committee (IRC)

The IRC in San Francisco is in need of computers and electronics for newly-arrived refugee families

Donations of gently used computers and household electronics go directly to refugee families in the Bay Area, helping them to acclimate to their new lives here in America. Many of those refugees spend their first few weeks in America with nothing more than a fold-up card table and four folding chairs, making donated items among their prized possessions and an integral part of gaining their first job in the U.S. 
 
Please help a refugee family in your community by donating to the IRC. All donations made to the IRC are tax-deductible.
 
Items needed immediately (New or Used):

• Computers: Laptops and Desktops
• Televisions
• DVD Players
• Other household electronics
 
All items must be good condition and in working order, as the IRC cannot make repairs to broken or damaged items.
 
We can arrange pick-ups only in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda.  Please allow at least 2 weeks notice to have your donation picked up.  Items can also be dropped off at our office, located in downtown Oakland.
