BLESS AFGHAN CHILDREN AT THE
NATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER IN LEESBURG
1,000 Afghan peoples with be staying at the National Conference Center in Leesburg every month from now through September 2022. These American Allies are preparing for resettlement in other locations throughout the U.S. A significant majority are women and children. They have endured much hardship as they were forced to leave Afghanistan last summer and now seek safe refuge for their families. Their daily uncertainty, travel, and future in an unknown culture and language have taken a toll on them and their children. But we are being allowed an opportunity to bless them during their stay, and pray for more opportunities to come!
At this time we would like to provide NEW toys to cheer up the children and helping our new neighbors feel welcomed and at home.
The ask:
- We are looking to collect 100 NEW toys to take over to the Afghan families with children. We are teaming up with 9 other churches in the county to gather 1000 toys total.
- We need 50 NEW small handheld toys such as Hot Wheels, dolls and stuffed animals and educational toys. They need to be small enough they can fit into a child-sized piece of luggage.
- We also need 50 ‘developmental’ NEW toys for 2 years and under.
- Drop off toys in one of the large black tubs labeled "Toys for Allies".
If you cannot drop off the toys at church or if you are looking for ideas we have created an Amazon link that can be found by following this link:
