We are looking for a group of 8-10 parishioners to form a team that would accompany a refugee family being resettled in Raleigh, NC. Responsibilities would include: welcoming the family at the airport and bringing them to their apartment, helping with transportation, securing food assistance, assisting families with paperwork, working on financial literacy, and being on call for other support and assistance. These responsibilities would only require a few hours monthly from each group member for four months with the option to continue the informal friendship/connection. Two 90-minute in person training sessions plus ample support from social workers in the Raleigh office of a refugee resettlement agency and St. Francis staff will be provided.
If this sounds interesting to you, we are hosting an information session about being part of the next Refugee Support Circle.
This info session is Wednesday, March 29th, 7pm in the Padua Room of the Community Center.
