GIVING KITS FOR REFUGEES!

Three ways to give!

  

Adriane, Kyle and Gabby had fun shopping with their coupons to put together baby care kits, emergency clean up kits, hygiene kits and cleaning kits for CWS to use locally and around the world!

 

Two Lancaster county women enjoy thrift shopping!  They shop for themselves, and their families!  Now they are also shopping for Kitchen Set Up kits which CWS staffer Josh uses as he sets up apartments for each new refugee family that arrives, (over 200 apartments in a year!) 

 

Josh says, "Wow! You can tell these women love to find good deals and make things beautiful too!.  The kits are full of practical and attractive things for the kitchen.  What a gift they are giving!"

 

These thrift shop enthusiasts would like to encourage any of you who enjoy the "hunt" to request a list from CWS for your next thrift shop excursion and see how much fun it is to gather these items and help refugees right in our own area too!
