Before December 7th Asha’s Refuge and Bethany Christian Services will receive nine refugee families and that number is expected to grow before the end of the year. Our Memphis area numbers as a whole from both resettlement agencies (World Relief and Bethany) from now until Sept 2024 will receive more than 500 lawfully present newcomers fleeing for their lives to start their lives over after much hardship and loss. You can be a light of hope by donating on this Black Friday and through the end of year to help us have what we need to set up homes for the families and provide wrap-around welcome services. You can give by clicking this link: at https://ashasrefuge.kindful.com/ You can also donate housing items or serve with us to help set up homes for new arrivals, provide food for their empty pantries and fridges, donate a coat, drive a person to a doctor or another appointment, help teach or tutor English, Basic Computer, Job Skills, Drivers Ed, Life Skills, or Cultural Orientation classes. There is much you can do to be a part of welcoming someone from war. Please don’t wait. Give today. Let us know you want to help by emailing us at serve@ashasrefuge.org.
