Welcome the Stranger

This holiday season, we’re filled with gratitude for the churches and businesses stepping up to support our new neighbors through the Welcome Tree initiative and special offerings. From hosting Welcome Trees across the KC metro to dedicating Christmas Eve offerings to help refugee families settle into their new homes, your generosity is truly transforming lives.

We’re especially excited to share that all 475 Welcome Tree ornaments have been distributed! Each ornament was thoughtfully crafted by resilient refugee women alongside volunteers during our monthly women’s tea, with each one bearing the name of its creator—a testament to the shared community spirit. The final ornaments were lovingly assembled by Ukrainian clients during a memorable zoo trip.

Special thanks to:

– Asbury United Methodist Church

– Church of the Four Corners

– Country Club Christian Church

– Country Club United Methodist Church

– New Wine Church

– NorthPoint Development

– Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church

– Platte Woods United Methodist Church

– Toner Jewelers
