Refugee, Immigrant, Migrant Care


When: Ongoing

Our vision is for every refugee, immigrant, and migrant family in the DMV to feel supported and welcomed in our community. Through partnerships and direct ministry we are able to engage in setting up apartments, walking alongside families, connection with services, intentional prayer, and hosting education and awareness events.

 

Ways to get involved:

 

  • Refugee Care (Ongoing): Join a small group and walk alongside a family as they rebuild their lives. This type of support is long term and takes commitment as building trust is key. The group works with the family on everything from doctor appointments, turtoing, language support, job hunting, to meals around the table. The Family Friends team commits to diving deeper into the culture and language of their friends, seeking to learn from them and their community, as well as invite them into their own.

  • Homes Not Borders (one time or ongoing): HNB works to provide the refugee and asylum-seeking population of the DC area with all they need to succeed and feel at home in the US. Through setting up apartments, career mentorship, and carpentry training they are always looking for volunteers and donations. To learn more go to Homes Not Borders.

 

  • Mirgrants Arrivng to DC (one time or ongoing)- Since April 2022, Texas and Arizona have been sending buses of mirgrant families from the southern border to Washington, DC.  In response, volutneers and nonprofits have been and are receiving the buses at all times of day, sorting donations, finding housing, and providing financial support.
