We are partnering with Dayspring Presbyterian to sponsor a refugee family to resettle in Edmonton. We are excited to announce that the Soudmand family has been approved to immigrate to Canada, and will be arriving in the next 3-6 months. We have committed $12,000 towards this project and have currently raised $6,350. If you would like to give to this project, indicate "Refugee Resettlement Fund" on your donation. Any funds raised beyond the $12,000 for this particular Dayspring project will be used toward future sponsorship opportunities through Greenfield. 

There are a number of Ukrainian newcomers who are looking for temporary hosts as they settle into life in Edmonton and figure out permanent housing. See here for details, if you are interested in hosting.
