Our efforts in assisting refugees has experienced some twists and turns, but we’re running in high gear.
When our Congolese family’s arrival was delayed, we realized we could still be a big help to those who are already here. We are currently seeking volunteers and donations to help with settling five families from South Sudan and Syria. Volunteer efforts involve helping families move into new homes, shopping for basics like household goods and clothing, and helping refugees navigate various aspects of their new lives here in Pittsburgh.
On Tuesday, December 21, and Wednesday, December 22, we are moving two families into their new homes, and could really use some help! Work involves moving home goods and furniture into apartments in Carnegie and Crafton. Some work is light duty; some heavy. No prior experience is needed!
