Donate Goods

IINE collects donations of goods and supplies to distribute to individuals and families arriving in Massachusetts and New Hampshire from conflict zones across the world. All donated items should be new and unopened unless otherwise noted.

Please do not contribute clothing beyond what is indicated below. For furniture and larger items, we ask for photos to assess condition and usability before donating. We can help coordinate drop-offs at one of our off-site storage spaces.

Donations can be mailed to our offices or dropped off during regular business hours.
