Refugee Resettlement 

Now that the long, hot summer is in the rearview mirror and Tom is back in the pulpit, we can shift our focus to the horizon.  The Refugee Resettlement Committee (RRC) needs to re-stock its inventory of gently used furniture.  Last year, the RRC picked up 184 donations from 132 church members.  The donated furniture twas used to set up apartments for 44 refugee families.  New families arrive in Utah weekly, so the need for second-hand furnishings is open-ended.  Given the refugee crisis in the world, more families will be coming to Utah in 2017.  Please help by calling Joe Dubray, (904)-207-9773, to have your sofa, chairs and tables picked up and recycled.
