Refugees Arriving - Needs Are Great!

New refugee families continue to arrive in Greensboro, primarily from Bhutan, Iraq and Burma. As in previous years there will also be Montagnards coming to Greensboro, most of whom will be joining family members who already are here. We also expect to have families coming from Central Africa, Liberia and Burundi.  The recent sudden closing of a refugee center in Thailand is forcing the US and other governments to receive refugees on very short notice, and many of these are coming into the Triad area.

Upcoming needs for adults and children which can be dropped off at FaithAction International House:

  • winter coats for children and adults
  • gloves, hats, and scarves
  • underwear for children and adults
  • socks
  • blankets and comforters
  • bedroom and bath linens of all types
  • kitchenware including dishes, pots and pans, small appliances in good working order
  • disposable diapers, especially in sizes 4, 5 & 6
  • sanitary supplies

Please contact us at 336-379-0037 if you have questions or need us to pick up donated items.  Donations may be dropped off from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. weekdays at the FaithAction International House at 705 North Greene Street in downtown Greensboro.
