As new families are identified for resettlement, we gather and deliver donations from our congregation to furnish their “new” homes. Once the refugees are settled in their homes, we provide a variety of ongoing support to ensure successful integration into their new communities. This support may include “check-in” visits as well as help with school enrollments, transportation, health care, financial literacy, etc.

Warm Welcome Kit Drive for Newly Arrived Refugee Families

October 1-27, 2024

It’s time to help more newly arrived refugees with supplies for their new homes/apartments. According to LCSNW, there are many new families resettling in the Puget Sound area and we are excited to involve the congregation in this “warm welcome!”

Here is information about the KIT Drive:

• When: October 1-27

• What: Kitchen and bath kits. See below for the list of needed items.

In respect for our new friends and neighbors, all donations should be new.

• Where: Bring donations for the Kitchen and Bathroom Kits to the tables in the Fellowship Hall under the poster on the large wall. You can do so on Sundays or any time the church is open.

• Monetary donations: Monetary donations accepted. Please make checks out to Holy Spirit Lutheran Church and designate “HSLC Refugee Resettlement Committee” in the memo line. Place them in the offering plate or deliver them to the church office. All donations will be used to complete kits for the KIT drive.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Susan Worthen through the church office.

Thank you for opening your heart to new refugees….who will be our co-workers, neighbors and friends. We are blessed!
