Refugee Welcome Kits

To help Afghan refugees and their families, you can build a kit, compile it in a moving box, and drop it off at your Gateway campus the weekends of September 25–26 and October 2–3.

If you’re not near a Dallas–Fort Worth campus or unable to build a physical kit but still want to help, you can give toward a kit.
