One of our mission partners has asked for urgent help. With the loss of funding from the United States Refugee Admissions Program, 22 families legally placed in the Kansas City area are at risk of losing food and shelter during their initial 90-day transition period. The Hillcrest Governance Board has decided to support Mission Adelante (MA) with a gift of $25,000 from the proceeds of the Birch House sale to help with their shortfall. Hillcrest's gift will allow Mission Adelante, a 20+ year mission partner, to continue their important work. Read MORE ABOUT THE NEED HERE. | |
