Generosity
People in my town have come through yet again. They pulled together to donate household items for refugees through word of mouth and print at a local church and through the internet. Freecycle has been a Godsend with all of the hearts willing to donate to refugees who have nothing, and so has the church with which I’ve been working
A brother and sister heard through the church about what I’ve been up to, and they cleaned out their father’s kitchen and linen closet after he passed away. They brought me 15 boxes and a couple of trash bags of dishes, sheets, and other household items. They were boxed and labeled, which really helps the resettlement agency out when they go to unpack and organize donations in their storage unit before giving them all away.
If you have an old set of sheets, furniture, or a pan you’re not using, consider looking up a resettlement agency in or near your town and donating it. In these tough economic times, anything agencies don’t have to buy is a true help to families in need.
