Support Asylum Seekers

New York City Stands with Asylum Seekers. To support the needs of asylum seekers entering New York City you can help with monetary donations. Additionally, you can donate items at drop-off locations such as NEW clothing, toiletry, and hygiene items.

• Monetary donations: The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City is collecting cash donations for the Asylum Seeker Relief Fund which supports asylum seekers with relief programs and services that address a range of needs including immediate survival needs, legal information and services, workforce support, housing and relocation services, among others.

The Bike Donation Program will provide asylum seekers a form of transportation to get acclimated in their new homes.
