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.
I want to donate money - Item donations: The Office of Faith & Community Partnerships at The Mayor’s Office has created a Donation Drive for Asylum Seekers. Drop-off locations are available in all 5 boroughs.
I want to donate items - Bike donations: MOIA is proud to announce our partnership with NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services, Department of Transportation, Recycle-A-Bike, & Unlimited Biking to distribute donated bikes to newly arrived New Yorkers. The Bike Donation Program will provide asylum seekers a form of transportation to get acclimated in their new homes.
