Offene Arme e. V.

NFI items include essentials like clothing, shoes, and hygiene items. We distribute these through:

• A Free Shop where asylum seekers and refugees can choose their own clothes, shoes, hygiene and other items, helping them to maintain a small sense of normality;

• Our cooperation with our partner organizations to provide supplies to Unaccompanied Minors (UAMs)

• Landing Packs of essentials that can be distributed to asylum seekers and refugees in emergency situations when they arrive;

• Baby project: When a baby is born from parents who are asylum seekers or refugees, we provide the family with a basket full of all the essentials for the first days of the baby’s life. Its contents include a baby blanket, bibs, clothes, toys, and hygiene products such as wet wipes, nappy cream, diapers, as well as supplies for the new mother, like sanitary pads, and underwear. Additionally, we provide strollers to 0 - 2 year old babies.

• Distributions of hygiene items and seasonal supplies are run outside of Vial CCAC whenever possible to provide as many items as possible;
