This spring one of the families staying in our refugee housing moved into permanent housing! We are thrilled for them. Now we are preparing our house for the next family.

Today is the last day of school for our kiddos! Our children‘s program was a sweet time of celebration and play, and ended with an important reminder of what the gospel is and what it calls us to. 🙏🏼

This weekend our friends from Bedrock Church Roanoke sent a team out to do some much needed repairs on one of our refugee houses. They were a huge help! We're getting oh so close to having the house ready for the next family.

If you or your group is interested in helping with painting, laying subfloor and tile, window replacement, or installing a shower door let us know!

Next week is the end of school! And with the end of school, we immediately jump into summer programming for our children's program.

Please consider whether you, your business, or your church group are able to help with snack foods for our kiddos as we do things like swim lessons, hiking, park days, lake days, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! (Check out the list in the image.)

We're down to our final two weeks of school for the kiddos in our after-school program. Once summer hits, the fun begins! We take the opportunity during the summer to do special activities with our children that they normally wouldn't have the opportunity to do, such as swim lessons, sports camp, hiking, days at the lake, VBS, and more!

If you'd like to help contribute towards the various field trips we're doing this summer, you can do so at www.friendshiphouseroanoke.org/donate and leave a note saying "TKP Summer".
