October CFC: New Beginnings for Refugees
On the third weekend of each month during September – May, our Sunday collection is given to a pre-selected Ministry Partner, organization or cause, like this one, that puts our values into practice. For October, our selected partner is New Beginnings for Refugees.
English Language Learners are a major focus of the New Beginnings for Refugees organization. The ELL program offers a unique service to our new families. It is the only place that provides free childcare while the students are learning. Whether Afghan, Syrian, Rohinga, Ukrainian and more, most of the mothers come knowing no English. ELL offers them a safe place within a like community of learners to take that difficult step of learning a new language. While they learn their children play in a safe environment and also learn the cultural expectations of their new homeland. They also get an opportunity to acquire a few more household necessities from the New Beginnings Pantry. Your past and continued support of New Beginnings for Refugees is greatly appreciated.
Joyce Schneider will be the speaker on behalf of New Beginnings for Refugees.
