Reaching the Sudanese Community This Past Christmas

“I wish you could have seen the faces of those who benefited from your kindness,” said Gatluak Thack, Executive Director of the Sudanese Community Center. “People were so happy they were laughing and dancing!”

Several families felt led to reach out to some Sudanese families this Christmas. The families gave generously and provided $3,800 to purchase Kroger and Wal-Mart gift cards for some 35 Sudanese families. Because of their giving, many were able to buy special meals, warm clothes and much-needed items for their families this holiday season.

Thanks to those within our body whose “good deeds” impacted a community right here in our own back yard.
