More than 50 families, friends, church and civic groups came together to gather items refugee families prioritized on their wish lists, such as vacuums, televisions, and household items for over 55 newly arrived refugee families and individuals. More than $20,000 worth of in-kind donations were collected and distributed during the month of December to these families.

Additional refugee arrivals are expected to be scheduled as the year continues.
