New Refugee Family Support!

Thanks to everyone who has already agreed to help with painting on Wednesday (7:30pm) and Thursday (8pm)! Really grateful to have your help. If you haven't let us know yet, please send over a note soon.

In reviewing the home, here are things that we need before Friday--dropping them off Thursday evening would be IDEAL, but you can also text/e-mail us to make arrangements. If you intend to provide something, please write your name on the list to mark it off:

Items for the Salih Family

This is an all-hands-on-deck call for assistance tomorrow, May 10th.

For the church projects, meet at church at 9:30am to get oriented.

For the CSCC refugee project, meet at 137 S. Clinton at 10am to get oriented.

The biggest project is painting (just one coat, just the walls) the refugee resettlement house at 137 S. Clinton Street. The Mendez-Garcia family moved out in March, and we hope to welcome a new family soon (the father is going to visit tomorrow while we are painting to check things out). So we want to have things ready to go for them.

Meanwhile, on the church side, we have lots of projects to handle--including more painting, if that's your thing, a simple fix to the prayer wall, and some tile work in the kitchen.

Please let us know if you plan to join us! Thanks!

So honored to welcome Global Refuge and their Welcome Center to Fells Point (and the 1st District). As GR CEO Krishanti Vignarajah shared this morning, "Baltimore needs immigrants and refugees, and immigrants and refugees need Baltimore." We certainly know that very well in Southeast Baltimore, where neighbors of diverse cultures and languages have building and transforming community together for more than 150 years.

Please help the CSCC reunify a local family!

A Venezuelan mother who fled to the United States with three of her children, seeking asylum, needs our help to bring her final child here to the United States. The child, a nine year old boy, was left in the care of his grandmother. With his grandmother’s recent death, the child is without a suitable person to serve as caregiver. These funds will help ensure his ability to travel with family friends as they journey to the United States, allowing for reunification with his siblings and his mother here in Baltimore.

The Clinton Street Community Center has committed $1500 toward this effort, AND we have committed to helping raise the additional funds from our supporters and neighbors.

Will you please prayerfully, and generously, commit to this effort?We are so grateful for your support for our immigrant and refugee neighbors, particularly in difficult circumstances like these.

You can make your donations at https://www.clintonstreetcommunity.org/donate or mail them to 141 S. Clinton Street, Baltimore, MD 21224.

Check out our year-end report! Thank you for all of your support!
