Refugee Assistance Fellowship Team

One of the best kept secrets of FBCG is the ministry to Refugees.  However, I’m now pretty connected and wanting to celebrate all that God is doing through this robust ministry.  Please consider sharing the Christmas joy and generosity by filling a Christmas Box as outlined below.

1. Suggestions for food items to choose from:
• Meat–ham, chicken or stew beef
(fresh if you deliver it, frozen if someone else delivers it)
• Eggs-one dozen hard boiled
• Veggies- fresh- potatoes, cabbage, onions, peppers and a large can of canned sweet potatoes
• Fruit-bags of apples, oranges clementines, grapes, bananas
• Loaf of cinnamon bread
• Rice- large bag, not instant
• Cookies-2-3 kinds
Other items are always appreciated-Cooking oil, sugar, fruit juice, Christmas candy, pumpkin or fruit pies

2. Suggestions for practical non food items to choose from:
• Laundry detergent and roll of quarters for the coin operated machines at the apartments, very important
• Toiletries-bar soap for bathing, deodorant, shampoo, shaving cream, nail clippers, hand lotion, chapped stick, toothpaste
• Light bulbs
• Kleenex, toilet paper, sanitary supplies,
• All-purpose spray cleaner, dish washing detergent (not for automatic dishwashers)

Families, friends, Sunday School classes or Small Groups can go together to create a Christmas Box to be delivered the week of December 20th.

Please contact Pam Morphis to be matched with a family. You might like to have a volunteer deliver it or you can deliver it yourself and meet the family….it’s fun!
The boxes will be delivered right before Christmas.
