Your generous in-kind donations of household items and clothing are critical to ensuring that our newest neighbors are prepared to live in – and become thriving and engaged members of – their new community.
JVS accepts new and gently-used donations.
How to Help through In-Kind Donations
There are several ways to donate clothing, school supplies, books, household items and more:
Drop Off Donations
JVS accepts donations of new and used clothing, school supplies, housewares, and toys. Items can be brought to JVS offices at 4600 The Paseo, weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.
Wish List Fulfillment
JVS accepts new household items and clothing donations through our Amazon wish lists. Simply purchase new items through a wish list below and have them shipped directly to JVS, 4600 The Paseo, Kansas City, MO 64110.
Donation Drives
Hosting a donation drive – for your birthday, anniversary, workplace team-building event, or just for fun – will make a remarkable difference in the lives of many. It's simple! We’ll provide an online wish list of items needed and all you need to do is create a fundraising goal and spread the word to your friends and/or colleagues! The items will be shipped directly to JVS, where they will be used to resettle a family or individual. To host a donation drive contact development@jvskc.org.

“We are both the grandchildren of immigrants who were welcomed into their communities. We like the idea of paying that forward by helping to welcome the newest immigrants into our community. We feel blessed to be able to help.” – Loring and Paul, JVS volunteers
Lend your heart and your hands to JVS and the refugees and immigrants who now call Kansas City “home.” From one-time opportunities for you or a group to longer-term and recurrent projects, volunteers ensure that JVS is able to engage, encourage and empower our newest neighbors.
