Meeting set on local refugee aid efforts
In response to the high level of interest and support from Mapleton churches and residents surrounding the Syrian refugee crisis, an information meeting has been scheduled for Feb. 6.
“World Renew, the organization our local committee has been working with, will be hosting an information meeting on Feb. 6 at the Drayton Christian Reformed Church,” said Markus Frei, committee member.
“Everyone is welcome to attend to learn more about bringing Syrian families to live in Canada.”
Frei said the event will be of interest to those who are considering sponsorship, are currently involved in sponsoring refugees, or would like to know more about any aspect of refugee resettlement.
The Drayton Christian Reformed Church is located at 88 Main Street East in Drayton. The meeting will run from 9:30 to 11:30am.
For more information about the meeting, contact Frei at 519-638-3627 or Janelle Zwart at 519-803-3698.
