About This Cause
Gateway of Grace meets the needs of refugee families who live in our community. When we receive a new family, our volunteer teams -- typically from area churches -- work to quickly provide them with basic necessities and care: Airport greeting Transportation Housing Furniture Food Needs assessments Follow up visits Community through friendship and fellowship Sign up as a Gateway of Grace volunteer now by going to our website at www.gatewayofgrace.org TEACH basic life skills through Gateway Educational Ministries Our English as a Second Language classes help refugees communicate in the U.S. and eventually secure jobs and financial stability. Our cultural literacy classes, meanwhile, teach refugees to integrate in American culture and tend to a range of daily tasks shopping, asking for directions and even basic legal matters. At the same time, courses on basic computer literacy allow refugees to manage life in an increasingly tech savvy urban environment.
