Shop 4% Friday on December 22nd to Support Immigrant Resources and Immediate Support

The Mission of IRIS is to connect immigrants with existing resources in the community and provide immediate assistance to those experiencing a temporary period of crisis.

The immediate assistance provided by IRIS includes basic clothing and shoes, laundry detergent, toilet paper, hygiene supplies and groceries, mattresses, warm winter coats, supplies for new babies, and rental subsidies to help with direct deposits for secure living situations.

IRIS prioritizes serving those who are not eligible for other community resources such as food stamps or health insurance.

How Will Your Shopping Trip Support IRIS?

100% of the funds from 4% Friday will be used for direct support to IRIS’ recipients. Some examples include partial or full rental payments for those unable to pay due to crisis or potential eviction, shopping trips at Goodwill to purchase basic needs, and shopping trips to grocery stores to purchase culturally appropriate food and hygiene items.
