- Nappies, baby items and toys
- Men's and women's underwear, socks and clothes
- Grocery vouchers
- Laptops and computers
- Art supplies

Donate Money
You can donate money to help refugees by clicking the FUND button next to the item that you'd like to donate towards. 100% of your donation received by GIVIT will be used to purchase these items.
Your donation will help people like Matthew, an Iranian refugee, who received a bike through GIVIT to travel between his homeless accommodation and his workplace
