Supporting Refugee Families through Exodus World Service
🫶 Why We Need Your Help
Over the past two years, more than 650 refugee families have resettled in the Chicagoland area. Many are learning a new culture, navigating unfamiliar communities, and rebuilding their lives from scratch.
Disciples in Mission (DIM) is raising funds to support Exodus World Service in providing care, friendship, and community to refugee families.
🌍 How You Can Make a Difference
Care Packages
DIM volunteers will shop, assemble, and deliver Grocery, Baby, and Household Care Packs to families as they settle into their homes.
Know Your Neighbor Program
Volunteers help refugee adults practice English and acclimatize to their communities. Conversation partners meet weekly with guidance and support. These relationships foster friendship, mentorship, and a sense of belonging.
Support Heidi’s House Community Centers
Programs in Wheaton and Chicago provide computer skills training, college preparation, English conversation practice, homework help, and small-group mentoring.
