As a follow-up service event to our justice education series on refugee resettlement, we will collect items and put together Welcome Kits for Opening Doors here in Sacramento:

Many refugees and asylees arrive in Sacramento with only a suitcase full of belongings. Resettlement agencies like Opening Doors prepare for their arrival by securing a place to live and furnishing it with essential household goods, essential baby care items (if needed), and more. Welcome Kits are the easiest way to make a big impact! 

Sign-up for items online

Please consider supporting our efforts by signing up for items to donate by clicking on the following link:

When selecting items, our priority is to be able to donate complete kits, and so whenever possible, please sign up for items that will help us with our goal.

NOTE: We ask that items be new or VERY gently used.  Our goal is to create a truly welcoming and complete home for families, not burden them with broken or heavily-used items that may prove unusable (no stains, tears, chipped dishes, etc.).

Drop off on campus

Students (or parents) can drop off items in the JHS Office of Service & Justice no later than Wednesday, November 16, at 3:00pm.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Katie Maynard (katie.maynard@jesuithighschool.org) in the Office of Service and Justice.
