We are supporting a wonderful effort to provide washing machines to Syrian refugee families in Albany. This is a small part that our congregation can do to help people who are trying to get settled in a new country after escaping the horrendous conditions in their own. The Mission Commission is purchasing one washing machine for $250 using our mission project funds and will donate additional washing machines based on donations from the congregation. To donate to this effort, please put a check in the offering plate designated for refugee fund, or give online using Other Giving on the fund dropdown menu and write “refugee fund” in the notes.
