Refugee Families: Church and Home Furnishings

refugee families: Harrison is a member of St, according to Guelph Mercury. Andrew Presbyterian Church, which has partnered with the First Baptist Church of Guelph and Knox Presbyterian Church to bring a family of Syrian refugees to Guelph. We have all of this furniture that we're going to have to put together, Joanne Harrison said with a laugh. We can take a little bit larger family because we've got the three groups, Harrison said, explaining that together the three church groups have collected enough donations to sponsor a family of from eight to 13 people. But that didn't stop the group from applying to Ikea Canada for support when they heard earlier this year the company was offering donations of home furnishings for refugee families to the charitable organizations sponsoring them. The groups connected through the Guelph Refugee Forum last fall, and almost a year later they still know nothing about the family that will be coming. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
