I thought I would directly paste the e-mail I received into the blog....Here is a need both the North and South house churches could help out with--lets round up s0me blankets and coats for our friends from warmer climates...
Hello Volunteers! We have an urgent need!
As I step outside, I am constantly reminded that the season is changing. Fall is here! I feel that no matter how many years I am out of school, I will always think of fall as being the beginning of a new year. For our recently arriving refugees, this fall is bringing many new changes. In fact almost everything has changed for them: familiar faces, food, types of shelter, transportation systems-everything. One of the first things that refugees notice is that MINNESOTA IS COLD! Many of our refugee populations come from very warm countries such as Somali, Burma, Thailand, and Liberia. They are chilly now with our 50 degree fall days; imagine what happens when January rolls around. Even now we have several families who are cold at night.
We are looking for people to respond to this need. It is time to raid your storage closets, garages, and attics. World Relief needs all the warm blankets and winter coats you can find! Help us extend a warm hand of welcome to our newest Twin Cities neighbors this fall. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Blessings,
Katy Ross
