Immediate Assistance for Incoming Refugee & Asylee
Families - 12/24/2016 - Ongoing
We are currently working with Turkish asylee families who have moved here with the clothes on their backs and nothing else besides their faith in America.
We met them and their small children, and they represent the very best of American ideals. Although they have nothing, they still shared tea, Turkish coffee, and small treats with the ARI team yesterday as we sat together on the floors of their small Renton apartments.
They need chairs, couches, kitchen tables, books for children pre-K to 2nd grade, and any other basic goods that a young family would need.
If you have extra furniture/childrens books/household goods lying around, or would like to donate, please email us at inf0@arinw.org. You can reach Anny at 206-228-0405 for donating goods. You can also donate by clicking our "Donate" button.
Please help us spread the word. There are more families coming. Thank you!
Assistance for ARI operational costs and
events/rallies expenses - 01/26/2017 - Ongoing
ARI is a team of volunteers. We fund-rasied successfully for others and run ARI with our own paychecks. The current crisis like circumstances have driven us to expand and fight back full force. Please help us expand. Help us cover costs for our operations, permits for rallies, rentals for marches and prints. Help us hold more infomation sessions. We are not 501c3 as the restrictions with 501c3 do not allow organizations to do political advocacy. Right now is not the time to chose between money and our rights. We are a registered charity in Washington state but will not be filing for 501c3. Help us fight the good fight. Donate today.
