DO N A T E   I T E M S

As a result of forced displacement and war, homes are lost, and families are forced to leave nearly everything behind. This makes household and personal items crucial needs for arriving refugee families and their new homes. Your donations help them rebuild as they begin their new journey in the U.S.

HOW YOU CAN GIVE

CMP schedules all drop-offs and pick-ups. Unscheduled drop-offs are not accepted. Please do not leave donated items in or outside the CMP office building. To schedule a drop-off to the CMP donations warehouse, please click the “Submit a Donation Inquiry” below. If you would like to host a donation drive for collecting household or hygiene items most needed for CMP clients, please contact Donations Coordinator, Adara at adar.elham@chashah.fyi

CMP has launched new Amazon wish lists! These lists allow supporters to easily choose and donate vital items most needed for newly arriving refugee families. These have been organized into several categories, with some items marked as “high priority”. All items are already preset to be delivered directly to CMP – So you do not need to schedule a drop-off or be located in Milan to donate items from these lists.

 

AMAZON Wish List temporarily unavailable.

 

To view and purchase from the CMP Amazon wish lists, you may choose from the following links: Household Necessities, Kitchen & Household Aids, Toiletries/Hygiene Items, Home Maintenance, School Supplies and Clothing.
