Welcome Basket
Refugee families have been through more traumatic events during their journey than most of us will experience in a lifetime. When these families arrive in their new home country, we want them to feel welcomed and valued. A welcome basket is the perfect way to say, “We’re glad you’re here!” This gift can provide refugees with
- a basket full of nutritious food
- sets of school supplies for the children
- new, appropriately sized clothing
- essential hygiene and homemaking necessities
The Impact of Your Gift
Incoming refugee families desperately need support. Many arrive with very few resources and a limited understanding of English. Many have never lived in a big Western city and need help navigating all the systems. Through the Refugee Care Circle at the Boston Send Relief ministry center, newly arrived refugees receive welcome gifts, ongoing relationships with Christian families, and practical assistance throughout the entire first year after their arrival. One family from the Middle East expressed, “Without the help of Send Relief and the church care circle, my family would not be where we are today in America! We are so grateful for the help and the welcome.”
