You may also purchase these household items online, which will ship directly to MCC, for the apartment furnishing of refugee families using our Amazon apartment set-up gift list.
For the East Bay, you might also consider Savers Dublin and Goodwill of Greater East Bay. For vehicle donations to MCC, please see here.
