Dear Faith Community Friends,
I sometimes feel a little bit like a broken record, always wishing peace, wellness, and good health for you all and those you love, but it is the honest-to-goodness truth. I do really, truly, very much wish for you all of those things.
We, at CWS Lancaster, continue to show Welcome to newcomers in our community, and we continue to work diligently to ensure refugee families have what they need to continue thriving through this pandemic.
As community restrictions begin to ease, our leadership team is carefully considering what the next phase of 'working' looks like for CWS Lancaster. Whether that be retrofitting our passenger van with a protective shield—any leads on this would be awesome!—for transporting clients or creating new organizational guidelines for meetings in the office, we are always mindful and cautious as we consider the health and safety of everyone involved.
One essential piece of this plan is considering the undetermined date when refugee travel will begin again. Admittedly, not knowing exactly when this will happen makes planning a little tricky, but we continue with confidence and hope for when that day will come!
For your solidarity, for your kindness, and for your thoughtfulness, we are so grateful. Be well and take care, Faith Community Friends.
With gratitude,
Elyse Pollak
