Refugees arrive to our community looking to rebuild their lives. LSS/NCA helps them do that by finding housing before they get here, and then working with them on their personal and professional goals to set down new roots in the USA. One of the most important things you can do to help is collect new or gently used household items to help us furnish the homes for these families, so that they don't have to stretch their tight budgets to cover basic things like linens and toiletries. LSS/NCA will support you in hosting a drive in your community.
Please contact Lily at habtue@lssnca.org or donations@lssnca.org for our current donation needs to support our refugee clients. Thank you!
