====================================
Interfaith Refugee Project
Fundraising Initiative
Government sources have determined that it takes approximately $34,000 to
cover the first year of living expenses for a sponsored family of FOUR. Our
committee has been working hard to raise the funds needed to provide for our
sponsored family, but we still have a ways to go.
Can you help support the Abbotsford initiative to sponsor a Refugee family?
Any amount will help, but tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or
more.
Please contact the project chair:
