Donation Request to Assist Immigrant Family
Did you know that the FCCA Accompaniment Team is working with Shelter in Peace to assist two immigrant families in starting their lives here in the Bay Area? Sindy from Guatemala and Irma from Mexico each have two children and met in a homeless shelter in Oakland. Shelter in Peace has provided them with a furnished unit here in Alameda, and the FCCA team is working to help them find long-term affordable housing and employment.
The children could use lunch boxes and new clothes to start the school year, so we are taking up a collection to get each family a Ross gift card. If you’d like to contribute, please send a check payable to FCCA with ‘Accompaniment’ in the memo line, or give online via Tithe.ly. (Please do not donate gift cards, as we wish to split the proceeds evenly between the two families.)
Donations will be accepted through August 9 in order to present the gift cards on August 10, in time for the new school year.
