Kentucky Refugee Ministries - ASAP

March has been a little crazy at Kentucky Refugee Ministries. They are welcoming 33 refugees and setting up 11 apartments this month! Supplies are running low and they are looking for support and assistance.

Ways you can support these newly arrived families:

·         Gift cards to Save-A-Lot, The Dollar Store, or Walmart   

·         Furniture and household items including kitchen items, linens, cleaning products, and other supplies. One way to do this is to ‘build boxes’ for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom.  KRM can provide lists for all of this.

·         Information about 2 and 3 bedroom apartments available to rent.  The landlord must be willing to rent to tenants who are not yet in the country, and apartments need to be affordable and on the Lextran bus line

·         Volunteers who wish to help set up apartments or to provide transportation for a family for 2 or 3 weeks

·         Bicycles, computers, and cars are always welcome. (Donors can take the Blue Book value as a tax deduction because are donated directly to refugee families)

They have also recently welcomed several refugees who are currently working through some serious medical issues before they will be ready to work. Please do what you are able to rally resources for refugees arriving in our community. For more information, contact Dabney Parker, dparker@krmlex.org
