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.”
