Butterfly Boxes helps the community welcome refugees to Oregon with airport arrival bags containing items that make the first few days in their new home just a little bit easier. We know that transitions to a new home and country take time, so at the end of Refugee Adjustment Day, we like to send our newest neighbors home with items they'll need in the coming months. We are also accepting donations of material goods that will help make the day go smoothly.

Use the shopping lists below to purchase new items to donate to Refugee Adjustment Day.
At this time, we can accept only the items most commonly requested by those we serve, as listed below.
If you have questions, please contact us.

Bring your donations to Catholic Charities of Oregon, 2740 SE Powell Blvd, 11am-7pm on Friday, May 11th.
