TIYYA Backpack and School Supply Collection

Thank you from the OC TIYYA Refugee Foundation for your recent donations of school supplies and backpacks!

Together, we were able to supply 23 backpacks to this wonderful organization that supports refugees in Orange County, many of whom arrived in the US with no more than one suitcase per family. Thank you for taking part in this mission to further God’s kingdom on earth.

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Matthew 25:36-36

TIYYA Backpack and School Supply Collection

God calls us to minster to the refugee and the immigrant, but we often wonder what is the best way to help. 

Here is one way. We are collecting backpacks with school items for OC Tiyya.  Tiyya’s mission is to provide community support and educational opportunities for families of refugees, immigrants, and displaced Americans.

We will collect the backpacks and school supplies July 1—July 15. 

Young children’s backpacks should include pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks, crayons & markers.

Older children’s backpacks should include pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks and calculators.

 Please bring the backpacks to Suzanne’s office.

You can learn more about Tiyya and the wonderful work they do helping refuges and immigrants at Tiyya.org.
