Episcopal Migration Ministries

Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) is the Episcopal Church’s refugee resettlement agency and is seeking financial support through its new “Neighbors Welcome: Afghan Allies Fund” to help with housing, medical, legal, and other basic needs of Afghan families. EMM is working nationwide and with its affiliates in several states to bring the necessary help and support to arriving Afghan families. The agency is not specifically working with refugees in Colorado, but encourages congregations to support EMM’s work at large or engage with local partner agencies, however we feel called serve. To make a financial gift to EMM, you may visit their website at episcopalmigrationministries.org/donate-afghan-allies. Other opportunities to be involved and participate are identified on EMM’s website: episcopalmigrationministries.org.
