Grants were available
for several years after the Network was first established
in 1995. Today small charity organizations
like ours, with no paid administrative staff or grant-writers,
find it almost impossible to obtain substantial state,
federal or nation-wide grants. The current message from
official circles is "You must gain local support" and
that is what we are trying to do through the information
we can provide you on this website.
We welcome financial assistance from persons and organizations
that share our concern for the refugees. We particularly
address our appeals to Episcopal churches within the San
Diego Diocese. Sudanese refugees have been settled in just
a few cities in the U.S. so this project is not well known
outside of those selected sites. We really depend on San
Diego support.
We also collect donated furniture, clothing, bedding, kitchenware
and other household goods for delivery to the apartments
of those who lack these supplies. Newcomers lack all of these
items.
Friends of the Sudanese Refugee Network
The
St. Luke's Refugee Network Board of Directors is pleased
to announce the formation of the Stewardship
Mission called "Friends of the Sudanese
Refugee Network".
The initiating Chapter at St. Andrews, Encinitas is underway,
with additional formations under development.
The bottom line benefit of "Friends" is
to put the gifts that God has blessed us with directly
into action, to love our neighbors in ways that can provide
profound joy and humility in fulfilling God's Second
Great Commandment.
YOUR NEIGHBOR IS ANYONE WHO HAS A NEED THAT YOU CAN
FULFILL.THE SUDANESE REFUGEES ARE OUR NEIGHBORS,
AND THEY ARE IN
NEED!
