Refugee Resettlement Donations Temporarily Paused
Thanks to your incredible generosity, our refugee ministry now has enough materials to support refugee families for the foreseeable future! Until further notice, we are no longer collecting physical donations. However, cash donations are always appreciated to help continue our work. Thank you for being part of our team and for helping make a difference!
Refugee Resettlement Ministry
The NCASC's Refugee Resettlement Program is in need of essential items to help refugee families coming to Greensboro/Burlington. A refugee is a person who is forced to flee their home and country for fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, political opinion or social group. African Services Coalition has been resettling refugees since 2007. Learn about refugee resettlement facts here.
