Due to COVID-19, IWC volunteers are now making emergency food and supply deliveries. This family of four from the Congo were excited to receive their shipment. The mom called Amanda Stutler, the IWC Community Coordinator, in a bit of crisis as their food supplies were running low. It is a privilege to help these families work through this current crisis.

Here are some IWC volunteers making a furniture delivery to the home of Jack, a husband and father of 3 boys. He and his family resettled here in Akron right after Stay-at-Home orders were issued. They are from Sri Lanka. The volunteers were able to bring them a couch, a reclining chair, and two lamps. Prior to the delivery, their living room was empty.
During one of his reports, Gov. DeWine said that social distancing and stay-at-home requirements were not an excuse to ignore our neighbors or help someone in need. I’m pretty sure our Heavenly Father agrees with that statement. The IWC is striving to meet the needs of refugees and immigrants and remain socially responsible during these interesting times. ![]()
Matt Hicks, the IWC’s Legal Counselor, has submitted the IWC’s application to the Department of Justice. Upon their approval, he will be able to start helping the foreign born with their legal requirements to maintain an immigrant status or become citizens. Please pray for the application to be accepted and approved.
