How to Support World Crisis
As Grace Church is exploring and still gathering information on the best way to support this crisis, below are some way that you as an individuals are welcomed to explore:
World Relief
- Walmart Gift Cards! We will need to buy everything on the Material Needs list that is not donated for every family that is arriving. We want to be able to use gift cards to directly help each family. Again, this allows their money to last longer for rent and food. (Drop into offering box or front office with a note for World Relief.)
- Donate! Welcome kits needed, list and instructions.
- Volunteers! Folks can go to the North Texas website and fill out the online application. We need volunteers to help our caseworkers as case aids, family friends, apartment set-ups, airport pick-ups, donation pick-ups, Good Neighbor Teams, ESL tutors and teachers, conversation partners, and more!
- GIVE! People and churches can support our efforts by donating through our website.
- Pray! Pray for the Afghan families as they come that they would be surrounded by churches and volunteers that would build just and welcoming communities. Pray for World Relief North Texas and our volunteers as we provide vital services for the new families with low staff and lots of families coming each week. Pray as World Relief North Texas engages the church and volunteers in bringing people together.
- Warehouse Space! World Relief North Texas has warehouse space, but it is far from the apartment complex where most of our clients are being placed, it is not in a great area and is not adequate for our needs as our number increase. If you have or know of space for storage, we want to know!
