Care for Global Neighbors: Putting God’s Love into Action
This Valentine’s season, let’s share more than just words—we have an opportunity to put God’s love into action by caring for our global neighbors. Through Care for Global Neighbors, our partners and volunteers can collect essential care items for refugee families who have fled conflict and hardship, offering them warmth, dignity, and hope.
You can be part of this simple yet powerful act of love by donating much-needed items. Whether you participate as an individual, family, church, or workplace, your generosity will remind our global neighbors that they are seen, valued, and loved.
