The father and four children (13-20 years old) arrived in Akron in January 2016 after 17 years in a Ugandan refugee camp. Church World Services assisted their arrival and initial support. A team of volunteers from Pilgrims Mennonite Church, Akron Mennonite Church and others in the greater Akron area are helping the family transition to self-sufficiency as an integral part of our community. To explore ways that you might help, call the church office 717-859-1488 to be referred to the team’s coordinator.
