A family of six from Venezuela is still scheduled to come to the United States, though no arrival date has been confirmed yet. We remain in a waiting period and could receive notice of their planned arrival at any time.

Our Welcome Core group met on Wednesday evening to continue preparations for their arrival. Many individuals from various churches in Wallingford are generously providing furniture and household items, which are currently being stored at Holy Trinity Church.

If you’re looking for a way to help, the best options are:

  • Donating to the GoFundMe page established to support the family.
  • Purchasing gift cards from Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Once Upon a Child, or C-Town.

When the family arrives, there will be many immediate needs, and gift cards will be invaluable in helping them settle in.

If you have any questions, please contact Diane Szymaszek.
