Immigrants/Refugees

    • CHITA Snack Supporters will hold the next snack-bag packing on Saturday, February 2, at 1:30.  Please join us in the Community Room to prepare 150 bags for immigrants who are traveling through Charlottesville via bus, with little to no money or food, to destinations in the Northeast.

    We have received a number of questions that we’d like to address, so everyone will be clear:

    • If you wish to contribute money or food, please direct your contributions to CHITA or, during the government shutdown, to the food bank.  We have a line item in the budget for food, and it is easiest to buy in bulk and get everything we need at one time. 
    • If you have a membership at COSTCO, and would be interested in helping with shopping in future months, please let us know.
    • We are still collecting outerwear.  Please continue to bring warm coats, hats, scarves, and gloves.  Children’s sizes are needed the most.  Please do not bring shirts, slippers, or other items that need to be sorted through and given away.  If you have any questions, please address them to Katy Schutz.  She will be gathering up items most Sundays after worship. 

    Thank you for your support.
