"You must love [the immigrant] as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God."
- Leviticus 19:24
As we seek to love our neighbors near and far, we are partnering with the African Community Center, Evergreen Lutheran Church, and Deer Park United Methodist Church to Nest-A-Home for a newly-arrived refugee family settling in the Denver area.
Nesting a Home involves collecting all the initial furnishings and household items that a family will need as they settle into their new home in the USA. At UMCE, we are coordinating the collection of items to ensure that when a refugee family arrives, they have a safe, secure, and fully stocked home in which to begin their new lives.
You can help! This project happens at UMCE every year during the season of Lent. In 2025, we will begin the project in March and collect items through April. Check back soon for more information!
