Support the Newly Arrived: Migrant Donations Ministry

(updated 10/23/2024)

St. A’s group, Support the Newly Arrived (SNA), is shifting focus. Buses from Texas are no longer dropping migrants off at North Shore Metra Stations and new migrant arrivals are down in Chicago. Many of those who came in 2023 and earlier this year, are in apartments or will be very soon. SNA now sees a need among the newly arrived for new kitchen items that will be assembled into “kitchen starter packs” by folks at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Evanston.

We would like parishioners to donate new items from the list below, and SNA will make sure they get to Immanuel Lutheran. You do not need to donate every item on the list; however, all items must be new. Items are:

  • 4 place settings (plates and flatware)

  • 4 mugs

  • 2 dish towels

  • 1 pot with lid

  • 1 pan

  • 1 set cooking utensils

  • 1 cutting board and knife

  • 1 can opener

  • 1 mixing size bowl

  • 1 dish soap and sponge

Please place your donations in the labeled bins located under the Community Events bulletin board in St. A’s hallway. For questions contact Nancy Freeman at nfreeman@walkfreecreations.com.
