Thank you for contacting MSMA! If you are contacting us to report ICE activity, please call the hotline instead: 202-225-1183. If you are looking for information on KYR, emergency planning, and other resources please check out our directory of resources.
We are an all volunteer network and we do not always have the capacity to respond to every email/ request we receive. Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive.
What clothes and other in-kind donations do you accept and where can I drop them off?
Please refer to our in-kind donation guide. It has drop off location information and we also update it regularly to reflect current needs.
Can I donate furniture / household items?
Yes! Please fill in this household goods donation form.
How do I volunteer with MSMA?
Please fill out our volunteer form and someone will reach out to you for vetting purposes. We can't respond to individual emails about volunteering, but you can ask any questions you have during the vetting process.
I filled in the volunteer form but haven't heard back!
If you have filled it out and haven't heard from us yet it is likely because our onboarding folks are low capacity, please have patience with us!
Are donations tax-deductible?
Monetary donations through Action Network, gofundme, or check are tax-deductible. In-kind donations dropped off or purchased from our amazon wishlists are not tax-deductible.
Can I interview someone from MSMA for a research project?
Given our current capacity, we usually cannot accommodate these requests. If you don't get a response to the request it is because of low capacity and we apologize.
