The power
of giving.
The dignity
of receiving.
Every donation has a purpose. Every family has a story. Through local distributions, essential household goods, and personal community support, ISFI helps immigrant families build a stronger foundation right here in Washington.
Giving shouldn't
be complicated.
Neither should getting help.
Starting over often means rebuilding an entire household. From kitchen essentials and clothing to bedding and appliances, even ordinary items can make an extraordinary difference.
ISFI works to connect donated resources with people who can use them, while offering a personal, respectful approach to local assistance. Our work is rooted in immigrant communities and welcomes people of all backgrounds.
