 In-Kind Donations

ACC uses in-kind and household donations to set up new homes for our refugee families. We are so grateful for our supporters who donate household items - it means so much for refugee families to arrive at new homes complete with necessities and feel comfort, safety, dignity, and respect.


Please note that we cannot accept any clothing donations at this time. See the full list of accepted donation items below.

Donation Drop-Off Information

Donations (with the exception of furniture items) can be dropped off at the front desk of our office:

925 S. Niagara Street, Suite 200, Denver, CO 80224

Monday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday : 9 am - 5 pm and Tuesdays: 12 pm - 5pm


Your donations to ACC are tax-deductible. Please check in with our Front Desk Coordinator, Feleg, who will help you scan our QR Code - you will be asked to complete a short Google Form and provide a fair-market assessment of the items donated. Within one week, you’ll receive an official donation receipt via email.

Please see the list below for the new and gently used items that we are able to accept. While we wish we could use all donations, ACC does not have the staff, volunteers, or storage space to accept everything that our community would like to donate.   If items are not found to be in a “gently used” condition, we may be unable to accept them at our office front desk. Items that must be new upon donation are specified as such. Thank you for your understanding!
