Through the Episcopal Migration Ministries 50 new refugees will be calling Austin home in the next few weeks. Most of our new neighbors will be under the age of 18, which is why we’re focusing our donation drive on items for kids, ages 3 months to 18 years.
When? Now through June 15th
Bring items to church to give to youth members.
Have questions?
