REFUGEE AID --- We are asking for your support to obtain a 6-month supply of oral hygiene products (toothbrushes and toothpaste) for the IRC Welcome Center. To make this possible, our goal is to raise $7200. We have a donor (Refugee Aid), who will match the first $3600 in individual donations dollar for dollar, to a total of $7200.

The IRC Welcome Center is a 24-hour emergency shelter that receives asylum seekers from around the globe. Most asylum seekers arrive with only the clothes they are wearing. They are offered a place to sleep, meals and a change of clothing. Most have not had access to toothbrushes or toothpaste for several days or longer. Asylum seekers typically stay at the IRC Welcome Center only one to two days before traveling on to their sponsors in other parts of the country.

A supplier has been identified who will provide these items for the low cost of $.07/toothbrush and $.13/toothpaste tube. With these prices and the 100% match, your donation can help many people. Please consider helping with these important items.
