After listening to his powerful story, we began taking action in our Missionary Discipleship Institute response project. After brainstorming, we decided on hosting a community meal. This response project matters to me because my grandparents were immigrants from the Philippines, and I was never really told the story. The reason the event is so important to me is so that immigrants and refugees can tell their story, their journey to America, to Seattle.
Our event is called “Voices for Refugees and Immigrants: A Community Meal” and will be hosted on June 1, at 12 pm. Our meal will take place at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Gymnasium, and the address is 3401 SW Myrtle St., and our goal is to welcome the community of Seattle. At this event, we will be taking donations that will be put into making care kits for immigrants or refugees settling into their homes. …
