Make ‘Welcome Kits’ for Afghan refugees

March 9, 2022 by NEIA Synod

Refugees Need Our Help

Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI) will begin resettling up to 500 Afghans within the next 6 months and will continue to resettle other populations in Sioux City and Des Moines (pending approval) after all Afghan individuals have been resettled in the US. The Refugee and Immigrant Services team developed a comprehensive plan for staff, in-kind donations, volunteers, and a fundraising campaign with a goal to raise $500,000. 

How You Can Help

Make a one-time or recurring financial gift through our Community Connectors or Fund a Family options. Visit LSIowa.org/resettlement to learn more and donate.

As LSI welcomes and resettles families from across the globe to Iowa, you can show them how welcome they are in our community by coming together with your neighbors, coworkers, faith community, or book club to make “Welcome Kits.”

  • Meal Prep Kit
  • Meal Service Kit
  • Bathroom Kit
  • Personal Care Kit

Many of our refugee families arrive in Iowa with few possessions or supplies. You can help them as they begin to rebuild new lives here and make a home in Iowa.
