Oklahoma Disciples Response to our Afghan Neighbors in Need
Our Oklahoma Disciple churches are working in different ways to meet the needs of our Afghan refugees who are now a part of our communities! Here are just a few.
First Christian El Reno collected serving trays, tea kettles, tea sets, and teacups and made a cash donation for other essentials.
Crown Heights Christian Church collected toiletries for families.
Southern Hills Christian Church and their Child Development Center collected new socks and undergarments for women, children, and men.
New Covenant Christian Church donated funds to purchase youth clothing that was desperately needed.
Volunteers from New Covenant CC, Southern Hills CC, Western Oaks CC, Edmond Trinity CC, and our Regional staff moved and sorted donations at from November ‘21 to March ‘22.
New Donation Center Open at New Covenant CC
The Oklahoma Region now has its own donation center! The New Covenant Closet is now open and taking donations to distribute to our refugee and immigrant neighbors in need. Donations of clothing, shoes, household items, and toys are accepted Tuesdays from 1:00 to 5:00pm. Items must be dropped off to a volunteer at the door on the northeast corner of New Covenant Christian Church located at 12000 N. Rockwell Ave., Oklahoma City.
New Covenant Closet needs clothing racks, hangars, tables, and shelves to help with the sorting, and of course, you! If you would like to volunteer your valuable time to this ministry, please contact Jerry Parrott at 405-401- 2295.
The following items are needed immediately for our Afghan neighbors:
Large pressure cookers, crockpots, serving platters, mixing bowls, pizza pans, skillets, stock pots with lids, and tea kettles.
Baby items, strollers, swings, bathtubs, play stations, and diapers of all sizes.
Be a part of a wonderful new ministry and give our neighbors a big Disciple welcome!
