TEAM HOPE

Supporting Family Reunification Efforts

Here at RLC we value family. And we value keeping families together.

And that’s why our Outreach team is leading an initiative to do just that.

The team is raising donations to support the US Department of Health and Humane Services in their Family Reunification Efforts.

This is the US providing aide to children who entered our country without their parents or who have been separated from their legal guardians.
The HHS is providing temporary housing while they work on that reconnection process.

Through our donations and giving, we can make that process easier on the children while the HHS works to reconnect them with their family.

So we’re asking you to take some time, pray, and consider how you can help.

Now Accepting your Donations

Safety and wellbeing represent the HHS main concerns for these unaccompanied minors.  And a donation drive is how we plan to respect these these regulations.

The HHS has provided a list of required items we plan to have our Outreach team on campus to receive those donations and deliver them to the Pomona Fairplex.
