Thank you ever so much for your support and goodwill! :-)
I recently attended a local service fair in Lehi, UT and collected some information from various organizations that are working to do good in the area. Catholic Community Services has a number of opportunities to help refugees who are making the transition to life here in Utah. For those with room in their life for refugee children, they also have a foster care placement program.

but feeling the pain of rising postage costs?
Get forever postage stamps for up to half off on Etsy.
Sharehouse
The first of these opportunities is becoming a Sharehouse volunteer. You can sign up for one or more Tuesday or Thursday afternoons to help pick up, sort and organize donations for refugees.
Mentors for Families/Youth & Youth Tutors
To personally get involved with helping refugees, there are opportunities to tutor youth, mentor families and mentor youth. There is a prerecorded orientation that you may watch to learn more about how you can help with these programs. The orientation is also the first step to getting on board as an official CCS volunteer.
Other Opportunities
CCS has a number of other opportunities to serve the homeless and provide food for those in need.
