Missions

Working in coordination with the International Refugee Committee, Bethany members donated furniture and household items to set up a household for a refugee family who were granted asylum. What a blessing to welcome families to America.

It was a fun-filled, action-packed time at our annual Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event where we packed meals to be sent to hungry people all over the world. Thank you to the 50 volunteers who help pack 10,000 meals in under two hours!

Bethany, in coordination with Rebuilding Together, replaced a privacy fence and front porch, as well as light landscaping at a group home for disabled adults that is operated by the Athelas Institute.

Many of Bethany’s G.I.F.T (Growing in Faith Together) Groups are serving in the community as part of their walk together. Efforts include:

• Collecting scarves and jewelry for the Jewels of Hope sale
• Assembling hygiene kits for emergency care
• Packing boxes at Operation Christmas Child
• Serving and collecting items for asylum seekers in Washington, DC
• Making cloth bags for medical missions
• Week-long Appalachian Service Project
• Rehabilitating living space for victims of human trafficking
• Preparing meals for the Cold Weather Shelter

Bethany provided hygiene kits and flood buckets to those in crisis due to natural disasters or to asylum seekers or homeless persons.
