St. Paul's Cathedral (Buffalo), St. Martin in the Fields (Grand Island) and St. John's (Youngstown), three Episcopal churches along our international border with Canada, have collaborated to collect a full apartment of needed goods for our new neighbors from Afghanistan.

​

Refugee families arrive with little to no resources for establishing households during their first few months of resettlement. Journey's End relies heavily on donations from the community to provide these families with essential home furnishings, such as tables, couches, dressers, dishes, etc., and other household items like toiletries and cleaning supplies.

 

Our coordination of the three churches including the men’s bible study and the youth group from St. Martin's will help with moving day and collaborate to transform a barren apartment into cozy home for a newly-arrived refugee family, bringing a sense of security to them that have so little to start their new lives in Buffalo.

We were given a list of essential items and we have divided the collection by room for each church, the collection of donations is going well with very generous parishioners.

 

We are looking forward to our day when we are assigned the apartment so we can clean and set up.

We are building a community of volunteers all on the same goal of helping those in need, the least of us.

 

We hope you can join us on move in day sometime in April or May.
