Posts to advertise volunteer opportunities
Every Tuesday in August from 6-8 PM, we are calling Black voters in North Carolina with The Center for Common Ground, following-up on postcards we sent in the spring, encouraging the people of Mecklenburg County to vote, providing resources that make it easy to check where they are registered, and asking them to get their friends and family involved.
We would love to hear from you if you would like to learn more about the committee without the immediate objective of an application submission. Please feel free to be in touch with Ruth Goins, who staffs the committee, at ascu.beckner@gmail.comand she will connect you with a current member for follow up.
A year ago, generous members of this congregation helped the family of Mohammad Monir Karimi settle into an apartment in Falls Church, Va. Recently, Monir's brother Mukhtar journeyed here with his wife and three kids after a 2-year wait for visas. Like Monir, Mukhtar had worked for a contractor supporting the U.S. military in Afghanistan. The new arrivals will need cash, furniture, and a variety of household goods.
