The Justice and Peace Ministry is sponsoring a winter wear collection to benefit immigrants and refugees in our area served by IRIS, (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services), located in New Haven and Hartford. IRIS is a nonprofit agency whose mission is to help refugees and other displaced persons to become self-sufficient and integrated into their new communities.
Collection boxes marked IRIS will be available in both Church halls between September 22 and October 13.
Please consider donating new and gently used adult and children’s OUTER clothing: Scarves, mittens, coats, jackets or boots.
