How you can help refugees & asylum seekers
The personal situations and circumstances of the refugees arriving vary from person to person. This means there are many different item requests, and these are subject to change. Commonly requested items include:
- Toiletries
- Nappies, baby items and toys
- Men's and women's underwear, socks and clothes
- Grocery vouchers
- Laptops and computers
- Art supplies
To see refugee-related requests from your local area, use the filter options in the list above to narrow down the list so you see items needed for refugees near you.
Donate Money
You can donate money to help refugees by clicking the FUND button next to the item that you'd like to donate towards. 100% of your donation received by GIVIT will be used to purchase these items.
Your donation will help people like Matthew, an Iranian refugee, who received a bike through GIVIT to travel between his homeless accommodation and his workplace
