WYOMING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

UPDATE: The meals we packaged are headed to Burundi!

Burundi faces poverty and high levels of food insecurity. Since the country gained independence, internal conflict has impacted agricultural production, an important source of livelihood for many. Refugees and returning displaced Burundians depend on food assistance, yet available resources have become scarce. To address some of the food security challenges that children, families, and communities in Burundi face, Rise Against Hunger partners with organizations that support educational programs by providing meals to children at schools and early child development centers. In some cases, the food children receive at school will be the majority of the food they eat in a day. The meals you packaged will help ensure that children have access to the consistent nourishment they need to live healthy lives and successfully pursue  their education. 

WELCOME BASKETS: DONATIONS NEEDED

Church members and Open Door Families are invited to help fill Welcome Baskets for The Warehouse Clients.  We have prepared a list of essentials to help settle a family into their new home – from cutlery and plates to basic cleaning supplies, these simple baskets of love will make a world of difference to the families in transition. 

The deadline to contribute is Sunday, April 12^th.  To contribute to this effort please check out the items & details on our Amazon wish list (contributions can be sent directly to the church).
