Help us assemble toiletry kits for asylum seekers
Donation protected
Seattle Immigrant Rights Group is raising funds to procure and assemble toiletry kits for asylum seekers and others being released from the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma. This is a small thing we can do to help restore some dignity and order to the lives of people who have been through an awful lot, and still have a lot of traveling and uncertainty in their days ahead.
Our group has been assembling these kits for AID-NW, a non-profit organization in Tacoma that assists folks when they are released from the NWDC. We previously delivered 450 kits to AID-NW, but they report that they are running out of kits due to the high number of people who have recently been released from the NWDC (as many as twenty per day).
When detainees are released onto the streets of Tacoma, they are expected to find their own way to family and sponsors across the country. AID-NW provides assistance to these folks, which includes necessities like a backpack and toiletries. Because our first round of toiletry kits are running out, we hope to get a new batch to AID-NW by early October.
Each kit includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, skin lotion, deodorant, and a shaving kit. We have sourced the materials, and we have verified the kits we have delivered before are acceptable to AID-NW. 100% of the proceeds from this GoFundMe will go to purchasing supplies for more kits.
Thank you!
