Catholic
Charities Migration and Refugee Services welcomes refugees who have been forced to leave their countries due to
warfare, national disaster, and/or political and religious persecution.
We provide comprehensive
resettlement services designed to facilitate the refugees’ acculturation
into their new life of freedom here in the United States and to assist
them to become self-sufficient members of society, usually within four
months of their arrival in the United States.
Refugees arrive in
Connecticut without any of the basic necessities. To help us furnish their
apartments, we are always in need of beds, bureaus, tables, chairs, sets
of dishes, pots and pans, flatware, bed linens, blankets, pillows, lamps,
televisions, and other basic household furnishings in good condition.
Other items always
in demand are laundry detergent, soap, toiletries, toilet paper, cans
of coffee, flour, sugar, and cooking oil. ·
We also accept used
cars that will pass inspection. The cars are given to those refugees who
need them for transportation to their place of employment.
We can arrange to
pick up your donations based on our current needs, our storage availability,
and your proximity to Hartford, Connecticut.
Please
call the offices of Catholic
Charities Migration and Refugee Services at 860-548-0059 to
determine our current needs and to arrange a donation pick-up.
