Make An In-Kind Donation
YMCA International Services resettles refugees from all around the world that are forced to flee their home countries because of fear of persecution or death. As we continually set up apartments for newly-arriving refugee families, we are always in need of used furniture in good condition.

- Furniture; new and used (beds, dressers, tables, chairs, desks, couches, etc.)

- Towels, washcloths, and linens
