Afghan Refugee Family Sponsorship

MCCC will be sponsoring an Afghan refugee family selected
by Pastor Obed from the ACEM Afghan Church plant. The family is expected to
arrive in Canada in December-January. Volunteers will be needed to help the
family with needs such as transportation, finding housing, etc. (more details
will be available later). If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please
contact pastoral staff of your congregation.

  1. Welcoming the family when they arrived at the
    airport.
  2. Looking for a rental place for them to stay.
  3. Visiting the families time to time
  4. Providing transportation when needed
  5. Finding school for kids and LINC classes for
    adults
  6. Finding secondhand furniture and other home
    appliances
  7. Helping to find clothes and shoes for the
    family
