DONATIONS NEEDED
TWIN BEDS - When refugees arrive
to the US their support agency
is given $900 per person for 6
months’ support, to be used for
housing deposits, rent, set-up, utilities,
food, etc. If an agency such as
Bethany doesn’t have to tap into
this money to buy the household
items (beds) there is more chance of
a family becoming stable until employment.
Bethany has been so appreciative
of your donations in the
past. Please continue supporting
this worthy cause. When donating
please only give items which are
clean and in good condition. Resources
are not available to repair/
clean donations. See contact info
above. Pick up available.
