The Combined Federal Campaign of the Midsouth kicks off its 2014-2015 campaign to give Federal civilian and military employees an opportunity to support non-profit agencies throughout our community. There are many worthwhile agencies and we appreciate everyone who gives to CFC. We are honored to be an approved CFC agency and to have the opportunity to share our mission with the Federal community of generous donors. It’s an easy way for our many friends and family members who work for any of these Federal agencies to support the work of Asha’s Refuge through payroll deduction or a one-time gift. To make your gift to Asha’s Refuge through this method, simply choose Agency # 42063 when completing your pledge card on paper or on-line. Please share this information with your friends and family who are Federal civilian or military employees and may want to support Asha’s Refuge through this program.

If you are not a Federal employee, your employer may participate in United Way. You can give to Asha’s Refuge by writing in Asha’s Refuge on your United Way pledge card. We do not have a United Way number but your contributions will reach us this way too.

Your generosity enables us to serve the needs of a large community of refugees from many countries and new refugees are arriving all the time. All you have to do is watch the news for a few minutes to see there is so much war, terrorism and persecution in the world. Asha’s Refuge provides a way you can help to alleviate some of the suffering on a local basis. After years of unimaginable suffering, refugees come here full of hope to build a new life in America, but they need help to achieve their dreams. They are so appreciative of any practical help we give with language and life skills, friendship, transportation, job searches and many other way we meet needs every day. Thank you for being part of this effort to love all the people as Jesus loves all of us.
