Erie County will be donating some of its old furniture to the International Institute, which will in turn provide the items to refugees it helps resettle in the area.

The county will donate some of the chairs, tables and desks that have little value and will not be sold through its online auction service, auctionsinternational. com

The institute has told county officials that it helps approximately 200 refugees a year resettle in the Buffalo area.
