Everybody loves Forklift Friday! And what better way to celebrate than by making a donation to your favorite grassroots-to-grassroots humanitarian aid folks? Your spirit will be lifted as easily as a pallet of diapers 🤗 distributeaid.org/donate/

We are thrilled to kick off 2026 with a shipment delivery to Calais! This time, it’s The Highlands Support Refugees who have collected warm clothing, hygiene products, suitcases and shelter items 👖🧼🎒⛺ .

There are 770,000 Venezuelan refugees in the US. Let's be sure to protect them too.

Here's a list of refugee resettlement orgs by state that you can volunteer with or donate to:

We continue the Year End Wrap with a mission that *didn’t* make headlines: European Refugee Support 👪

We sent nearly $1.65 million worth of aid items (including much-needed items like shoes, soap, underwear, and tents) to people on the move in Europe. All humans have dignity, and deserve respect.

Next up on Distribute Aid’s Year End Wrap → US Disaster Preparedness Network ❤️🩹

We delivered over $1.3 million of aid to communities impacted by disasters this year. We organized local groups from Los Angeles to North Carolina to make sure that aid went directly to their neighbors who needed it.

Our Year End Wrap continues with the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit project 🏳️⚧️ 

We’ve raised over $135k to create more than 1,000 “everything-but-the-meds” kits to help trans people self-administer hormone therapy. And we won’t stop until everyone gets the care they deserve ✌🏽
December 23, 2025 at 3:08 PM
To finish out the year, we’re recapping our biggest projects of 2025 🫂💪🏽✊🏽 

First up: the Levant Response. We sent 6 shipments of food, clothing, hygiene products, and medical equipment to 🇵🇸 🇱🇧 🇸🇾 people displaced by the Israeli-US genocide. From the river to the sea, everyone will be free.

ICYMI → ‘tis the season of Stuff, and in 2025 we sent just under $4 million USD worth of it to people in need. In our last newsletter before New Years’, we explain why every sock, syringe, and sleeping bag was especially precious this year.

No human being should ever have to sleep with an empty stomach. We want to live in a world where every single one of us has enough to eat, so we’re working to change our reality. Better things are possible. 📷 @aneraorg.bsky.social

Warehouses are where the 💫logistics💫 magic happens! You never know what you might find in there (many boxes, but other stuff too) 🤩 A special thank you to Palmer Distribution for letting us use their space in Houston + Christian Refugee Relief for doing the same in the Netherlands!

“Europe’s refugee crisis” is an innocuous term for an astoundingly cruel reality. That’s why we’ve stayed focused on supporting people on the move. In 2025, we’ve delivered over 207,000 sleeping bags, pairs of shoes, and other items to refugee communities across the continent.

Thanks to people like you, this year we’ve made a hard world a little gentler

We delivered menstrual products to 5,000 women in Gaza. We distributed 1,110+ HRT kits to people across the US. We helped 250 families survive after the LA fires

Your donations helped do that. distributeaid.org/donate/

It feels a little hokey to do a “we’re thankful for _____” post today. The world's on fire and the people in charge are useless (at best). 

And yet! 

We *do* want to thank our volunteers, donors, + grassroots partners for the reminder that a better world is possible ❤️🔥 We’re building it, together

Sometimes our tiniest neighbors have the biggest needs 👶👶🏼👶🏾 And one of the best things about being a grownup is having the ability to help.

Today we want to celebrate our friends at Living Hope Wheelchair Association!

They got started in 2005 when the Harris County Hospital District decided to stop providing necessary medical supplies to people with spinal cord injury that were non Medicaid eligible.

🏳️‍⚧️ Our friends in LA just carried out a kit building day for HRT harm reduction supplies 🏳️‍⚧️

As some of you may know, we did not initially have California in mind as one of the recipient states of the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits. However...
