Hello everyone.

I wanted to share the exciting news that we have been matched with a refugee family.  The family is from Afghanistan and is made up of two parents and four kids: a 3 year old girl and 7,6, and 1 year old boys.  They will be arriving on August 30--less than two weeks from now!

Here are two things you can do to help us prepare to welcome this family.

1. Complete this super short (really, it's 2 multiple choice questions) survey so we know what things you're interested in helping with.

2. Sign up here to donate items to furnish the family's apartment.

That's it for now.  I'm excited for our St. Ambrose family to welcome these new members of our community.

Thanks!
