Mission
Our mission is to help refugees transition to life in the Frederick region and ultimately become self-sufficient. Before a refugee family arrives, we assist LSSNCA in finding them suitable housing in the area. We then prepare their home with donated furniture and household items. Then, once the family arrives, we continue to support them by providing assistance with accessing vital resources including those related to cultural adaptation, job placement, transportation, school enrollment, health services, and navigating bureaucracy. Additionally, as English speaking skills are important to achieving independence, we help families enroll in ESL classes or receive in-home ESL tutoring.
