World Relief Western Washington

BCC hosts the local World Relief office’s cultural orientation classes for newly arrived refugees. These classes are important to orient participants to life in the US, and more specifically, in Whatcom County. We are looking for volunteers to help with transportation, childcare, and hospitality. Usually these classes take place on four mornings every other month. If you cannot help for all the sessions but are available for one day, it is still helpful! To volunteer, contact Pastor Adria.

Save the dates! BCC will again be partnering with World Relief to help the the children of refugees prepare for school in the U.S. This year we will be holding a School Readiness Week, full of learning and activities, on August 5-9.

We are looking for more volunteers to help prepare a hot meal to drop off for the residents of the Gardenview Tiny Home Village in Bellingham.

If you would like more information, contact Terry Foulke.
