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 early 2024. 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.

Here are the responsibilities of the volunteers (working together with a team from Afghan church under NYCCC):

a. Welcoming the family when they arrived at the airport.
b. Looking for a rental place for them to stay.
c. Visiting the families time to time
d. Providing transportation when needed
e. Finding school for kids and LINC classes for adults
f. Finding secondhand furniture and other home appliances
g. Helping to find clothes and shoes for the family
h. Inviting the family for lunch or dinner once a while
