On April 13 four refugees from Ukraine arrived at the Veritas Family Center. Casey Bloom, Nazarene missionary who is coordinating Veritas’ involvement with refugees, welcomed our guests. Staff had just finished preparing rooms in the historic building for this purpose when the call came that a man and three women would be arriving the next day. Two bedrooms, a kitchen, a large living/dining room and office spaces are available for the refugees. At the time of writing this newsletter, our experience with hosting refugees is brand new. We don’t know if guests will stay a week or a month, or how many we may host. Check our Facebook page and monthly emails for updates.
