Vital Winter Aid For Refugees ❄️⛺❄️

Double your impact: every donation made will be matched, up to $10,000!

Help Distribute Aid deliver essential items like coats, tents, soap, and food to refugees across the US, throughout Europe, and in Lebanon's Bekka Valley.

In the US, asylum seekers are being bussed from border towns to faraway cities like New York and Chicago, where many are left to fend for themselves on the streets. In other areas, such as Greece and Northern France, the local authorities carry out regular evictions, denying refugees the opportunity to take shelter from the cold.

“The situation is getting worse and worse and we don’t have any solutions. Before we were fighting to get people shelter. Now we’re fighting just to get them water. There is so much humanitarian need but France is doing less than before. We are completely desperate, tired and sad.”

Distribute Aid's latest Quarterly Needs Assessment survey identified over 1,400,000 needed items, the highest amount of need we've ever recorded.

The groups we work with do an incredible job on the ground assisting displaced people, but they don't have the time, funding, or connections to develop a consistent supply of key items. That's where Distribute Aid comes in:

We connect 150+ community aid organizations in 16 countries to organize regular humanitarian aid shipments to our frontline partners.
We accept large in-kind donations from companies and share them across our network.
We help our frontline partners purchase aid straight from the manufacturer, saving them 33% or more!

Distribute Aid is a volunteer-led grassroots organization that relies on contributions from generous donors like you.

Your support will enable us to continue sourcing aid and delivering shipments throughout the winter season. There are many different ways to help:
