REFUGEE MINISTRY

Our ministry offers support and friendship for refugee families from Afghanistan as they resettle in Prince William County. As these new immigrants search for and settle into new homes, we provide genuine welcome and hospitality, donations of furniture and other basic needs, and assistance with transportation and navigating American culture. The relationships formed are rewarding for both new immigrants and volunteers and have developed into true friendships. For more information check out our Refugee Ministry Overview or contact us:  refugees@greenwichpres.org
