Help provide a warm welcome this holiday season!

We invite you to partake in this year's IRC-LA "Holiday Wishlist and Toy Drive"! You can shop directly via our Amazon Wishlist or pick out similar items and deliver or ship them to our office. To coordinate a donation drop-off, please email [email protected] for help! 

We are most urgently in need of winter coats, gift cards, toys, and dinnerware. You can also help us spread the word by sharing our wishlist with family, friends, or anyone who wants to offer support. 

When choosing your gifts, please remember that refugee families arrive with their own religious and cultural beliefs, which may differ from yours. We ask that you please avoid religious gifts and messages. While they may be well intended, they may not be perceived that way by families as they become acclimated to life in Los Angeles.  

Our refugee families will pick out their own gifts during this year's IRC-LA Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, December 16th. 

Please make sure gifts are delivered by Thursday, December 14th, 2023. Gifts can be shipped or delivered to the IRC-LA office: IRC Holiday Gift Drive, 625 N. Maryland Ave., Glendale, CA 91206.  

For questions or help, email Kristie Wong, Volunteer and Donation Specialist, at [email protected]; or Carly Boos, Community Relations Manager, at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for helping us provide a warm winter welcome to the refugee community in Los Angeles!
