All,
Per Julie Collins' Oct. 7 speech on the refugee crisis:
-- Last night, I mentioned a one-pager near the lectern outlining a few opportunities to pitch in in the local and global communities. To ensure that as many as possible see this information (and for those who may have misplaced the one-pager already [I know who you are … ]), here's the content for you to review — and act upon.
*****
- A refugee resettlement/refugee services organization with sites in DC; Falls Church, VA; and Silver Spring, MD: http://lssnca.org/programs/refugees_immigrant/
- This organization's "how to help" page: http://lssnca.org/programs/refugees_immigrant/how_to_help/
- Julie says, "In addition to volunteers, they look for donations of household items, etc., for newly arrived refugees."
Possible volunteer opportunities:
- DC Central Kitchen: https://www.dccentralkitchen.org/volunteer/
- Coordinate with Omer Ipekci (oipekci91@gmail.com)
- SOS Village's "Thank-A-Thon": http://www.volunteermatch.org/search/opp1817096.jsp
- Last session (thanking donors over the phone — no sales) is Nov. 19
