The Sanctuary Committee is thrilled to inform you that we are partnering with the Sikh
Gurdwara community in Rockville, Maryland to sponsor an Afghan family through the Lutheran
Social Services’ Good Neighbor Program (GNP). Through the GNP, we will be paired with an
Afghan family and will set up an apartment with all of the necessary furnishings and household
supplies. We will also provide adjustment support to the family, including transportation to and
from necessary appointments.
This will be a longer term relationship where we help support a family in resettling over the
next 6 months to 1 year, so rest assured there will be other opportunities to get involved. In the
meantime, we thank God for this loving, caring community, and pray for the continued health
and safety of not only the Afghan refugees, but of those still in Afghanistan.
