How You Can Help Refugee Resettlement In Your Community

We put 100% into everything we do for our community, but we do need help. We need your help. Please become part of our family and help us give these brave families the resources they need to feel safe and live a comfortable life away from home.

Below we have highlighted the different types of donations we currently accept. If you have any questions or concerns, please fill out a contact form at the bottom of this page.

General Donations

General Donations go to departments that need them the most. We appreciate and respect any donation items and amounts one can give. However, we promise that 100% of the proceeds go into helping our refugees and their families, and none go into any administrative aid.

Food Pantry

Our monthly food pantry helps roughly 400-500 families obtain food necessities each month. Thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers that show out, we are able to assemble and distribute food boxes containing food essentials such as rice, oil, flour, sugar, lentils, and more. The cost of one food box is roughly $45, your donations allow us to ensure families sufficient food each time. 

Uplift Charity gave my family and I ANOTHER CHANCE to a home and a safe life. We’ve been provided the needs in order to live a
comfortable life here. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for them.

Refugee General Support

These funds will go directly to costs and expenses in assisting our newly arrived Refugee Families. Many families arrive with only a suitcase of belongings, with limited resources to begin their new life here. We utilize these funds to help assist with necessities to help them get settled. We have received families from all over the world, with countries including Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Jordan, Yemen Ukraine, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and more

Zakat

Zakat is not considered a favor that is given to the poor by the rich. It is the right of the poor on the wealth of the rich. To calculate how much Zakat you are required to pay, please visit our Zakat Calculator.

Sadaqah

The term Sadaqah’ stems from the root sidq, which means ‘truthfulness.’ Unlike Zakat which is required, Sadaqah is charity that is done voluntarily. There is no minimum or timeframe, any act of kindness is counted as Sadaqah.
