We are so grateful for the work and service of Darlette, one of our volunteers working with the Sew For Hope Program! She's been so helpful during this crazy pandemic season and will continue to be a great part of our volunteer team after we're able to meet together again! "My association with Sew for [...]
Each week several boxes of craft supplies, art supplies, and several sewing machines are donated to help support our ministry. These gifts are wonderful, but do require that someone have the understanding and expertise to sort and find the treasures within. So, we need a woman to be our Donations Specialist to come in once [...]
We had so much fun last summer bringing books, crafts, and activities to kids! Each week we served alongside our team of great volunteers to not only serve lunch, but also to entertain, inspire and educate. We get to do it again this summer and we need your help to be the hands and feet [...]

Beginning with a small class of volunteers and refugee students, starting in May, we will be holding classes to train women in how to make jewelry to give them skills that allow them to make some income from home. More importantly, we want to pair up a refugee woman with a new friend who will learn alongside them, [...]
Everything and Nothing Today, I did everything and nothing. That’s what keeps running through my head as I reflect back on my first day. I can’t possibly put into words what it was like - pictures, videos, things you read before you come - nothing described it the way I experienced it. And listening tonight [...]
Director Dave's view from the van! Our recent “Walk and Talk” program was a great success. Over 20 volunteers from local churches joined us to share some exercise, conversation, and much-needed friendship with our refugee friends from Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Somalia. As I watched these women smile and laugh together, [...]
